Bay Pines VA Healthcare System is currently experiencing intermittent connectivity issues at all our sites of care.

There is no impact to patient care, and Veterans should report to their appointments as scheduled. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please call 911.

Thank you for your understanding as we await a resolution.
