Veterans Administration Hospital in Pineville

Across the Red River from Alexandria, in Pineville, is the Veterans Administration Hospital, a large facility with a number of buildings and beautiful grounds. I remember frequent trips to the hospital during the 1950s to visit my uncle who underwent long-term care at the facility.

Today, the hospital, located on the Shreveport Highway, US71, remains a vital facility in treating our veterans. We salute the doctors, nurses and other staff who continue to provide valuable care and support. For more information, visit the web site of Alexandria VA Medical Center.
