The VA Bronx Healthcare System provides primary and specialty health care services to Veterans living in a 3-county area in and around New York City. The James J. Peters VA Medical Center has 311 hospital beds and 120 nursing home beds. Our world-renowned research program has resulted in many national and international awards, including the Nobel Prize. The facility is a teaching hospital holding active affiliations with the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, the Hospital for Special Surgery, and the Columbia Presbyterian School of Medicine.  The medical center operates several regional referral points, including spinal cord injury (SCI) and referrals for medical and surgical subspecialties. For example, our SCI Patient Care Center is the referral point for VISNs 2, 3, and 4 as well as new SCI patients referred by the Department of Defense.

The original Bronx VA facility was the first in New York City, dating back to the 1920s. The medical center occupies a historic site in the Bronx; located on the highest point in New York City, it served as a strategic vantage point during the Revolutionary War. From the late 1800s until 1920, the Sisters of Charity operated an orphanage on the site where the medical center now stands. The Boy's Chapel, built in the 1800s, remains on the hospital campus and is used daily.

The Bronx is an exciting place to work and/or live! The VA Bronx campus is only minutes away from attractions such as the New York Botanical Gardens, Yankee Stadium, the Bronx Zoo, Van Cortlandt Park, and a wide variety of delicious cuisine!
