VA Boston Healthcare System upgrades healthcare infrastructure

These projects are part of a record $4.8 billion in nationwide VA spending to modernize, repair and improve department health care facilities in fiscal year 2026 via the Veterans Health Administration’s Non-Recurring Maintenance program.

VA Boston HCS improvement projects for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 are:

• Electronic Health Record Modernization Infrastructure Upgrades, Brockton campus
• Ambulatory Care Area Piping Replacement, Jamaica Plain campus
• Fire Alarm Upgrade, Jamaica Plain campus
• Office of Information and Technology Data Center Addition, Jamaica Plain campus
• Electronic Health Record Modernization Infrastructure Upgrades, West Roxbury campus
• Repave Patient and Employee Parking Lot, West Roxbury campus

“Improved facilities, equipment and infrastructure mean better care for Veterans, and these funds will enable VA Boston Healthcare System to achieve that goal,” said Leslie Pierson, executive director of VA Boston HCS. “Better care for Veterans is our goal, and these projects will enable us to achieve just that.”

These infrastructure investments are part of a host of important initiatives to improve VA during the second Trump Administration. Since Jan. 20, 2025, VA has:

• Reduced the backlog of Veterans waiting for VA benefits by 60%.
• Eliminated the backlog of Veteran families waiting for VA health care.
• Processed record numbers of disability claims, reaching an all-time fiscal-year high of three million claims processed Sept. 30.
• Opened 25 new healthcare clinics, expanding access for Veterans around the country.
• Offered Veterans more than 1.9 million appointments outside of normal operating hours. These early-morning, evening, and weekend appointments are giving Veterans more timely and convenient options for care.
