The west section of Parking Ramp 4 will be closed from 4 p.m. Friday, July 26, to 3 a.m. Monday, July 29, for maintenance. All vehicles must be removed from the ramp by 6 p.m. Friday or they will be towed. Please plan transportation accordingly and allow extra time for commuting if possible.
My clinic in the Veterans Affairs (VA) Health Care System tends to get patients referred to us with very complex symptoms that are unexplained, and those are challenging cases. I want to hear their story and acknowledge that their symptoms are real.
