LOMA LINDA, Calif. ? Veterans Affairs hospitals across Southern California are bracing for a flood of veterans with the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.
VA hospitals in the region are expecting as many as 16,000 returning veterans. Officials at the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial Veterans Medical Center in Loma Linda expect to see an influx by March.
Program manager Jacqueline Taylor tells the San Bernardino Sun ( http://bit.ly/uwvG50 ) most will initially go to the VA medical centers in San Diego and Long Beach. Some will eventually head to the inland region.
To prepare for the increase, officials at the Loma Linda VA hospital are planning to build a new multistory medical office building.
