Reference is made to a news release from the VA, but I have been unable to find one. The purchase price is said to be $12.9 million. Construction start is planned for 2014. Road construction to alleviate traffic congestion is already underway. Still another public forum will be held August 15 in an as yet undisclosed location. If all goes well, the new Robley Rex VA Hospital will be open for business in 2018. I congratulate the VA for getting this done<\/p>\n<p>This has been a long saga. Drawing upon the abundant wisdom of Animal House, it won&#8217;t be over until it&#8217;s over. I suspect we will be seeing more in the news.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Hasselbacher, MD<br \/>\nJuly 11, 2012<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li><a href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>Share<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"sharing-hidden\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-1501\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.khpi.org\/blog\/veterans-administration-buys-brownsboro-rd-land-for-new-hospital\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\" ><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-1501\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.khpi.org\/blog\/veterans-administration-buys-brownsboro-rd-land-for-new-hospital\/?share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\" ><span>LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-1501\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.khpi.org\/blog\/veterans-administration-buys-brownsboro-rd-land-for-new-hospital\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\" ><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Veterans%20Administration%20Buys%20Brownsboro%20Rd.%20Land%20for%20New%20Hospital.&body=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.khpi.org%2Fblog%2Fveterans-administration-buys-brownsboro-rd-land-for-new-hospital%2F&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
