SIERRA VISTA — As the new Sierra Vista Health Care Center is getting closer to completion, what will happen to the half century old existing hospital is being contemplated.

The not-for-profit Legacy Foundation of Southeast Arizona, the successor to the former hospital board, is looking at gifting the 90,000-square-foot hospital to the Arizona Department of Veterans Services (ADVS) as a Veterans Home and Assistance Center. The foundation may even donate money to help in the renovation.

Don’t be letting on that there is likely to be a vacancy. Obama and the Marxists will fill it up with illegal “Children”. quicker than you can say, “Cloward-Piven & Agenda 21”.”.

There must be thousands of vacant office and light manufacturing buildings like this one all over the USA that could be easily converted to clinics or housing for care and housing of vets.

It can take 10 years and more to build a new home for veterans..

if someone puts up half the money the VA meets the costs

someone gave the money for ours years ago..

since then the costs have gone up because we had to wait in line behind other states and then gone put down in priority etc..

they have the land but have yet to begin the 120 bed home...

meanwhile theres unlimited money for tribute err for homes for the illegal aliens..

The bureaucracy stinks, don’t it Nana? In this case, the building and land are just sitting there and will be vacant by this time next year. We’ve built a new 100-bed hospital out on the edge of town.

I believe the issue here is going to be the feasibility study on remodeling our old hospital. If that’s a go, then the Foundation may put up most of the money for the remodel.

Let me guess, this is going to cost the taxpayers. That is the only reason I can see why state officials would praise it.
