Exploring Rural VA Communities: Chillicothe, Ohio

Like the Veterans we serve, rural communities are as diverse and exciting as you can imagine. You may find an opportunity to be closer to family and friends, or just enjoy a greater sense of privacy. Perhaps the lower cost of living or even the allure of open space appeals to you.

Today, we'll visit a region steeped in history and explore the Chillicothe VA Medical Center in Chillicothe, Ohio: a city that was the center of political life in the Northwest Territory and later Ohio, serving as capital of both.

Growth in the region happened in no small part thanks to the development of Camp Sherman, a military installation that would eventually become the site of the region's first VA hospital and, ultimately, the Chillicothe VAMC.

The facility provides local Veterans with outstanding care and conducts important medical research. Chillicothe VAMC is also a teaching hospital offering clinical rotations in medical, dental and mental health specialties.
