Construction at VA Fresno
Limited Access to Main Entrance

Construction is underway at the main entrance of VA Fresno. Crews are installing concrete bollards to ensure safety. The work is expected to wrap up on Friday, January 30, 2026. During this period, there will be limited access to the front entrance.
Patients may be picked up or dropped off near the front entrance, but medical transport vans will drop-off and pick-up in the parking lot near the Building 24 Breezeway (see photos). Vendors were temporarily located in the Breezeway today but are expected to return to the front entrance tomorrow. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Today we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day and a National Day of Service. In observance of the federal holiday, some VA offices will be closed today.

Our VA community came together on January 16 to honor Dr. King’s legacy through reflection, connection, and service. Hosted by our African American Special Emphasis Program (AA SEP), Veterans, staff, and community members shared words and phrases at an activity table in the VA Fresno lobby - each one reflecting a personal commitment to serving others.

We also gathered for an MLK Lunch and Learn, hosted by Elisha Henderson, where VA employees from across the region discussed how to continue Dr. King’s mission beyond the workplace and the importance of self-care so we can keep showing up for one another.

Together, these moments reminded us that service is a daily commitment, rooted in equity, respect, and humanity.
