With almost a quarter of all Veterans in the United States residing in rural communities, ensuring they receive quality health care close to home is more important than ever. VA actively works to meet these Veterans in their own communities and promote opportunities to live happy and healthy lives. 

Today, let’s take a closer look at Bath VA Medical Center (VAMC), an affiliate of the University of Rochester School of Medicine.  

Bath VA Medical Center 

The Bath VAMC is a majestic red brick building with an equally rich history. Located in Bath, New York, in Steuben County, the original hospital was established in 1877 by the Grand Army of the Republic to house disabled New York Veterans of the Civil War. In 1879, the hospital was rededicated as the New York State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Home, Bath, before it was deeded to VA in 1932. 

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2013, and is designated a national historic district. Today, the Bath VAMC offers primary care and specialty health services, including eye and vision care, dental care, mental health care, nutrition services, treatment for spinal cord injuries and more.
