 “We’re expanding services while continuing to maintain the safety of our Veteran patients and staff,” said James Doelling, Hines VA Hospital Director. “Services will be expanded in a phased approach taking into account safety precautions and VA, local, state and federal guidelines.” 

 If you’re a Veteran patient who wishes to be seen, please call 708-202-2707 to make an appointment beforehand. Veteran patients can also find appointment information at https://www.hines.va.gov/patients/appointments.asp. Hines VA will continue to offer telehealth, phone consults and wellness checks. 

 As a reminder, all patients and employees who enter the campus will be required to undergo a screening process and wear a face covering before entering any building at the VA medical center. The no visitors policy remains in place.
