History

History
VA Butler Healthcares history began in 1937 when the Pennsylvania Department of Health chose Butler as the site for a Tuberculosis Sanitarium The Charles J Robson farm was purchased for 300 per acre The cornerstone was laid in December 1938 and the building was completed in 1940

During WWII the hospital served as a Soldiers hospital and in 1942 the US Army Medical Department leased the property and renamed it Deshon General Hospital named for Colonel George Durfee Deshon At one point the facility hosted 1000 beds for military patients In April 1946 the Veteran Administration started its operation and purchased the facility in 1948

VA Butler Healthcare has made many changes to meet the needs of the Veteran and by 1964 the hospital changed to a general medical and surgical facility As the needs to serve the Veteran continue to change the VA Butler Healthcare is dedicated to adapt to those needs for today and into the future
