This is Fred the JB Groundhog, reminding everyone that Spring is Fawning Season. Did you know that Does can have up to three fawns?

If you see a Doe and her baby crossing the road, slow to a stop and don’t proceed just yet; There may be two more trying to catch up!

We know you're in a hurry, but JB Campus is not a speedway. PLEASE SLOW DOWN.

Bet you didn’t know it’s also groundhog birthing season. Mother groundhogs have 2-6 babies this time of year. While groundhogs usually stay close to their homes, the babies start to wander outside at 6-8 weeks old and might walk into the road without seeing you.

Please keep an eye out and take your time when visiting us at JB. When vehicles and wildlife cross paths, it rarely ends well for either.

From Hazel, little Luna, and me, Thanks for visiting JB!

Last night our VA St. Louis Health Care System Executive Leadership team, along with representatives from the National Cemetery Administration and Veterans Benefits Administration, hosted a Veteran town hall at Moose Lodge 1221 in Swansea, IL. Our team was able to provide important information and updates, respond to questions from those in attendance, and connect Veterans with VA resource tables. It was a wonderful night with a packed crowd, and our Leaders appreciated hearing feedback and suggestions for ways that VASTLHCS can improve our customer experience.
