In observance of the federal holiday, the Birmingham VA Health Care System will be closed Monday, Dec. 25, 2023. This closure includes the main facility in Birmingham and each of our Veterans Clinics. Our Emergency Department remains open 24 hours. Please dial 911 or head to the nearest emergency department in the event of an emergency.
For those facing a mental health emergency, we encourage you to reach out to the Veteran Crisis Line at 988. Simply press 1 or text 83255 for confidential support and assistance.
If you have non-urgent, non-emergency matters that require attention, we recommend using the convenience of My HealtheVet Secure Messaging. This platform enables you to communicate with your healthcare team regarding prescription refills, appointment scheduling or cancellations, and access to your medical records.
