Required electrical repairs are scheduled for February 27, 2026, at the Troy Bowling Campus (Tower Building). As a result, the Lexington VA Health Care System will implement temporary service changes during the week of February 22–28:

Clinical teams are contacting patients to reschedule procedures, including surgeries for the entire week. We are currently diverting some patients, based on the complexity of their care. Starting Wednesday, February 25, 2026, admissions will be paused and any walk-in patients to our emergency department will be triaged and transferred to another facility.

No outpatient appointments at our Troy Bowling Campus are affected by these changes.

For life‑threatening emergencies, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Please note that VA must get the notification within 72 hours of when your emergency care starts. We prefer that the provider notify us. But if they don’t, you or someone acting on your behalf can notify us instead, either of these ways: call 844-724-7842 or Through our VA emergency care reporting portal: https://emergencycarereporting.communitycare.va.gov/
