William Jennings Bryan Dorn Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Veterans hospital in Columbia, South Carolina.
The William Jennings Bryan Dorn Veterans Affairs Medical Center is a hospital in Columbia built as 19 brick structures in Georgian Colonial Revival style spread across about 42 acres. The complex includes areas for surgery, mental health care, heart treatment, and rehabilitation services.
The hospital was founded in 1932 and renamed in 1978 to honor Congressman William Jennings Bryan Dorn. This change reflected the facility's growing role in serving military veterans.
The facility works closely with the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, shaping how medical training happens on site. This partnership influences the daily work and helps advance knowledge in healthcare.
The facility sits on Garners Ferry Road in Columbia and is accessible by car. Since it is a large hospital complex with multiple departments and entrances, visitors should find out which area they need before arriving.
The center runs seven clinics in towns throughout South Carolina to bring care closer to veterans. These outreach locations let specialized services like care for female veterans reach communities beyond the main campus.
