Wayfinding kiosks are now up and running in Building 500 at West LA VA! You’ll find two on the first floor – one at the main entrance and one at the east entrance (near the Emergency Department and valet drop-off). Plus one each in the basement and on floors 2-5.

These kiosks are designed to help you get to your appointments, ancillary services, parking lots, and all other key destinations with ease. You can even send directions straight to your phone for real-time instructions as you move.

The kiosks are accessible for those with hearing and vision impairments, as well as wheelchair users, all at the touch of a button on the home screen. Go check them out, and we can’t wait to hear what you think!

Over the past decade, the Transition to Practice Program (TTP) has helped nurses step into their professional roles with confidence and skill. For the past five years, the Post-Baccalaureate Nurse Residency Program (PBRNR) has provided new graduates with the knowledge, experience, and mentorship needed to succeed in the dynamic field of nursing.

On Jan. 22, VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System (VAGLAHS) hosted the RN Residency Reunion: Celebrating 10 Years of TTP and 5 Years of PBRNR to honor these programs and the dedicated staff, mentors, and participants who have contributed to their success.

Thank you nurses for your hard work and dedication serving those who have served.

Great news from West LA VA! Getting around Building 500 and the surrounding areas is about to get easier!

Seven wayfinding kiosks are being installed at key locations inside the hospital. These kiosks will provide simple turn-by-turn directions to and from your appointments, parking lots, ancillary services, the canteens, and more. You can even send directions to your phone. Look for the kiosks starting Thursday, February 19th!

We’ve also added an interactive map to our website, so you can look up your route and print directions in advance of your appointments. https://va-wayfinding.minuteman-llc.com/losangelesva

We heard you ask for better wayfinding support, and we answered. With these new tools in place, we hope to make it easier for you to access the care and services you’ve earned and deserve.
