The VA New York Harbor Healthcare System is a set of hospitals run by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs in the New York City area. It comprises three medical centers, two community outpatient clinics, and three veterans centers.[1] The system is a component of the much larger VA Health Care Network.[2]
In June 2021, the system's Manhattan Campus was renamed after Margaret Cochran Corbin, who fought in the Battle of Fort Washington during the American Revolutionary War. It was the first such facility in the United States to be named after a woman veteran.[3] A bill to rename the facility was introduced to Congress by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney; the bill was signed into law in January 2021.[4][5]
