The Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans' Hospital (HSTMVH)is a full service medical center that provides inpatient and outpatient care to eligible veterans from mid Missouri in the areas of medicine, surgery, psychiatry, neurology and physical medicine and rehabilitation.
HSTMVH employs approximately 1,000 people. However there are several hundred students and unpaid faculty as well as more than 400 volunteers who also spend time in the facility.
HSTMVH has 210 operating hospital beds and 81 nursing care unit beds. We have one-bed rooms, two-bed rooms, and four bed rooms on each of the ward units.
As indicated above, we have 210 hospital beds and 81 nursing home care unit beds.
Some rooms have one bed, some have two beds and some have four beds.
There are 291 total beds in the facility.
On average, we treat 7,500 inpatients per year and provide services for more than 84,000 outpatient visits. There are approximately 15,000 individual veterans receiving health care services at HSTMVH.
We do not have a trauma team. Our emergency room is staffed by a physician and nurses 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but we are not considered a trauma center.
There are more than 400 volunteers with regularly scheduled assignments and they provide in excess of 78,000 hours of service a year.
To stay in the hospital you would have to be an eligible veteran and your care would be provided to you at no cost. Therefore, it would not cost you anything to stay for two nights.
