You are invited to a special dual celebration honoring both our nation’s upcoming 250th anniversary and a significant achievement for our medical center.

As part of our Freedom 250 Celebration, we will also recognize VA Central California’s recent achievement of earning a 5-Star Quality Rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the highest rating possible for hospital quality. (See attached news release for more information.) This distinction reflects our team’s commitment to providing exceptional care and service to the Veterans who have served our nation.

Freedom 250 & CMS 5-Star Hospital Celebration
Date: Thursday, July 2, 2026
Time: 1:30-3:30 p.m.
Location: VA Fresno, 2615 E. Clinton Avenue, Fresno, CA 93703

The event will bring together Veterans, employees, community partners, and local leaders for an afternoon of celebration and recognition. Activities will include a formal ceremony, cake, DJ Eddie Lopez, photo booth, and opportunities to connect with Veterans and community members. Soldiers Angels will provide hot dogs. The Central California Blood Center mobile unit will also be on site with their Pint for a Pint blood drive.

The PTSD Coach app was designed for Veterans experiencing symptoms of PTSD. The app can help you learn about and manage symptoms that often occur after trauma.

PTSD is a serious mental health condition that often requires professional evaluation and treatment. PTSD Coach was designed as a standalone tool to help you learn about PTSD and access resources to help support a loved one with PTSD. It does not replace treatment with a healthcare professional.
