IRON MOUNTAIN – The Oscar G. Johnson VA Medical Center in Iron Mountain recently dedicated the newest addition to its facility. The $12.1M project adds 12,300 square feet to the facility, renovates nearly 4,000 square feet of the existing community living center, and provides 11 more single-occupancy rooms for residents. The build also provides a more homelike environment with more space for dining and recreation, as well as a barber shop and living room area.

“(The addition) will give eleven Veteran residents a new, single room in which to live while receiving care,” said Rebecca Strini, associate medical center director. “There are also four spacious and accommodating hospice rooms with walk-out garden views.”
