Martinsburg VA Medical Center

The Martinsburg VA Medical Center occupies a large campus in Martinsburg, West Virginia, in the state's eastern panhandle within reach of the Washington and Baltimore corridors. Operating within the Veterans Health Administration, it serves veterans across eastern West Virginia and into western Maryland, northern Virginia, and southern Pennsylvania, with community-based outpatient clinics extending access throughout that multi-state territory. Its position between rural counties and a major metropolitan region gives the facility an unusually mixed patient population.

Services include inpatient medical care, primary care, and outpatient specialty clinics, with particular depth in mental and behavioral health and extended care. Programs cover outpatient mental health treatment, PTSD and substance use care, residential rehabilitation, and substantial outreach to veterans experiencing homelessness. Geriatric and long-term care through a community living center supports an aging veteran population, alongside rehabilitation services. Nurses work across medical-surgical, outpatient, mental health, residential, and long-term care settings, often building continuing relationships with patients across years of treatment rather than single admissions. Veterans requiring high-acuity or highly specialized inpatient care are referred to larger VA facilities in the region.
