Maybe you’ve never set foot on the campus of the Edith Nourse Rogers Memorial Veteran’s Hospital (the Bedford VA), or maybe the only thing you know about it is its 20-mile-per-hour speed limit. But there is a lot going on at the Bedford VA, and much of it is at the cutting edge of research, service delivery and veteran support. You should have a chance to get to know your neighbor.
Over the next several months, the Bedford Citizen will publish stories about the Bedford VA. Some will link parts of the hospital’s history with its vast array of current activities, and others will look more deeply into its history and some of the programs that are offered in Bedford. Several will detail the innovative practices that are helping many veterans transform their lives.
The Citizen’s hopes that this series will give our readers opportunities to know more about the many programs at the Bedford VA, to create a context for stories that other media promote about the Bedford VA, and to enable readers to appreciate the robust work that happens just a mile or so from where we live.
Our first installment will examine the history of the VA here in Bedford, as part of The Bedford Citizen’s recognition of November 11, 2018, as the Centenary of the Armistice signed at the end of World War I, on November 11, 1918.
