Facility Atlas

Every VA hospital keeps two stories. One is its record - what the VA Office of Inspector General found when it inspected the place, in the OIG's own published reports. The other is its doors - the patient advocates, the main number, the leadership a family is actually allowed to reach when something goes wrong. This Atlas keeps both stories side by side, one page per facility.

Doors are copied from the facility’s own VA pages on the date printed on each page - never from directories, never from memory. Oversight items link to the OIG report itself; the summaries are ours, the findings are theirs. And where a check finds no facility-specific report, the page prints exactly that. Nothing here is padded.

VA counts 170 medical centers and 1,193 outpatient sites across the country. The Atlas is being built state by state until every one of them has a page. It starts in Florida - because Florida is where our family’s record was made - and with four facilities elsewhere whose oversight files are too heavy for any family to dig out alone.

Florida

• Orlando VA Medical Center - Orlando. The case facility: the system at the center of the Bowman record published on this site. Its page is held to the same verified standard as every other page here.
• Daytona Beach VA Clinic - Daytona Beach. The Orlando system’s multispecialty clinic in Volusia County, opened in 2024 to replace the Chappell campus.
• Malcom Randall VA Medical Center - Gainesville. The North Florida/South Georgia flagship, with an OIG file that includes a discharge-planning inspection every family should read before a discharge meeting.
• Lake City VA Medical Center - Lake City. The system’s second hospital; its record rides with the system inspections that cover it.
• James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital - Tampa. Its file includes a 2018 inspection of falls in the Community Living Center - one resident died nine days after his fall.
• C.W. Bill Young VA Medical Center - Bay Pines. The Bay Pines system’s flagship, renamed for Rep. C.W. Bill Young in 2013.
• Bruce W. Carter VA Medical Center - Miami. The Miami system’s hospital, with a financial-efficiency review and a 2014 residential-program death in its file.
• Thomas H. Corey VA Medical Center - West Palm Beach. Renamed for Thomas H. Corey; its file runs from a wrong-lens cataract surgery to a 2026 mental-health unit review written after one patient killed another.

Heavy files, carried early

• Carl T. Hayden VA Medical Center - Phoenix, AZ. The Phoenix VA Health Care System, where the 2014 wait-time scandal broke; the OIG file runs from that first report forward.
• West Los Angeles VA Medical Center - Los Angeles, CA. Land-use audits and the unbuilt housing on the West LA campus, care-coordination findings, and a 2025 review of a death the system did not fully examine.
• Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital - Hines, IL. Flooding and mold in new operating rooms, a foot amputation preceded by a safety-reporting failure, and two full inspection cycles.
• Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center - Cleveland, OH. A domiciliary death, a financial-efficiency inspection that found millions in invalid obligations, and a spinal cord injury unit that inspectors found understaffed on every shift.

How a page is built

Every page carries the same three things: the doors (main phone, patient advocates, leadership - only what the facility’s own VA pages publish), the record (the OIG reports about that facility, newest first, each linked to the report itself), and the way in (the government doors beyond the facility, and how to put your own family’s record on this site). If a number or a name here is wrong, tell us - corrections are the point of this site.

The Atlas is in its first build. Florida is complete in this pass; the build proceeds state by state from here.
