Talk:List of Veterans Affairs medical facilities

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Initial draft of VA medical facilities by state. I think the one article is going to be too large, considering splitting up into:

"List of Veterans Affairs Medical Facilities by State""

"List of Veterans Affairs Medical Facilities Alabama"

"List of Veterans Affairs Medical Facilities Alaska"

etc..

Which could then have address and telephone numbers listed. <> Who 19:41, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bizarre categorization

Currently, the list seems to be by state, then facility type, then city; however, the facility names often seem contradict the facility categories. For example, in California, there is a section labeled "Outpatient Clinic", which has a bunch of facilities labeled "CBOC" and "OPC", then a section labeled "Community Based Outpatient Clinic", which seems to have different facilities also labeled "CBOC" and "OPC". What's the difference? Is the organizational structure different than the clinic names imply? Or is it all just a mess? If the facilities were named the same as the category, the list could probably become much more compact. --Closeapple 06:39, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
