Minneapolis VA 2025 Year in Review

This week on Minnesota Military Radio, we host our annual Minneapolis VA Health Care System 2025 year in review.

The episode covers major accomplishments from the past year, including earning a second consecutive 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This top honor recognizes outstanding quality care, placing the Minneapolis VA among the best hospitals in Minnesota.
Other key highlights include successfully hosting the National Veterans Wheelchair Games in summer 2025, a premier adaptive sports event that brought hundreds of disabled veterans to the Twin Cities for competition and rehabilitation.
The leadership team also discusses expanding food pantries to address veteran food insecurity, with partnerships helping distribute resources at the main facility and community clinics.
Looking ahead, exciting developments include the upcoming ribbon-cutting for a new women’s clinic designed specifically for women veterans’ needs.
