When visiting the Birmingham VA Medical Center and Birmingham VA Clinic (Annex), take advantage of the free parking deck on 7th Avenue South between 24th Street and 25th Street. Metered parking is available across the street, but this is limited to 2 hours. We would hate for anyone to incur a ticket while visiting either location. Thank you for choosing the VA for your healthcare needs.

Last Thursday, our outreach team joined with the Veterans Benefits Administration Regional Office from Montgomery, the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs, the Ashland Police Department, and multiple community partners in Ashland, Alabama. The event was designed to bring the community of Ashland and Clay County Veterans together and offer a greater understanding of information and resources VA offers. Veterans and family members also had the opportunity to sit down with VBA representatives to file claims and gather information about potential benefits they have earned—altogether more than 30 benefits claims were filed.

The Birmingham VA Mobile Medical Unit was on station to provide quick checkups, supply vital information about health care services, and showcased its unique ability to provide mental health and social work services to Veterans.

Our community partners ranged from the local American Legion, Dove kidney transplant outreach, Alabama TBI Program, and a host of many more all working for the same goal to support our Veterans.

Our Women's Health Program hosted another successful "Mommy & Me" baby shower. This event is a unique opportunity for our maternity Veterans to receive advice from health providers while being “showered” with baby gifts.

This year, various gifts were provided by our Veteran and other community organizations, including a $500 donation check from the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 255. The gifts included flowers, a pack and play, and diaper bags filled with bottles, pacifiers, shampoo, diapers, wipes, clothes, blankets and detergent.

Our Guntersville VA Clinic was filled with joy, gratitude, and patriotic pride as staff, family, and friends gathered for an early 100th birthday celebration for U.S. Army and WWII Veteran William Morrow.

Morrow, a U.S. Army Veteran who served from 1943 to 1945, was greeted with applause and smiles as he entered the clinic’s lobby decorated in his honor. The event featured birthday cake, candles, thoughtful gifts, and a special certificate of recognition from our Executive Director.

Although his official birthday is July 26, join us in wishing him a happy (early) birthday! 🎉
