National Engineers Week is a great time to celebrate how engineers help to keep our facility safe and sustainable.

On Feb 18 -24, the Atlanta VA Health Care System will celebrate National Engineers Week, which recognizes the vital role of engineers in health care. The weeklong celebration aims to promote, educate, and showcase the contributions of the unsung heroes who work hard behind the scenes to keep Atlanta VAHCS’s 22 sites of care running smoothly.

Our engineering staff oversees the operation and maintenance of the campus, originally built in 1966.  Since then, generations of dedicated engineers have cared for all our buildings and infrastructure, adapting, and upgrading systems to continue serving Veterans.

“National Engineers Week is a great time to celebrate how engineers help to keep our facility safe and sustainable,” said Jeremy James, Atlanta VAHCS Acting Chief of Engineering Services.

We thank our engineering staff for all they do for our Veterans every day.
