Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center
The Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center occupies a large campus on Milwaukee's west side, sharing grounds with a national cemetery and a veterans home, and operates within the Veterans Health Administration. Named for the longtime Wisconsin congressman, it serves as the primary VA hospital for southeastern Wisconsin and reaches into northern Illinois, with community-based outpatient clinics extending access across that territory. A longstanding affiliation with the Medical College of Wisconsin makes the facility a teaching site for residents, fellows, and health professions students.
Services include inpatient medical and surgical care, intensive care, surgery, primary care, and a broad set of outpatient specialty clinics, alongside mental and behavioral health programs spanning outpatient treatment, PTSD care, substance use treatment, and outreach to veterans experiencing homelessness. Extended care through a community living center and rehabilitation services support an aging veteran population. Nurses practice across critical care, medical-surgical, perioperative, outpatient, mental health, and long-term care settings, with acuity reflecting the facility's role as a referral destination for veterans throughout the region. Nursing positions fall under federal employment, so pay scales, benefits, and advancement follow VA structures rather than the terms at Froedtert or Aurora.
