Company History
The Ralph H. Johnson VA Health Care System services more than 85,000 Veterans in a region that includes more than 15,000 square miles. Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center has 152 beds and 20 operating nursing home beds. Our hospital was renamed in 1991 for Marine Pfc. Ralph H. Johnson, a Charleston native who was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for acts of bravery in Vietnam.
In 2016, we completed 875,114 outpatient visits and recorded 4,368 inpatient admissions.
We first created a 4-member clinical team in 1990 to diagnose and treat PTSD. At the time, it was one of only 26 such teams in VA. The non-profit research corporation, Charleston Research Institute, accepts gifts, donations, and grants for VA research. Our research programs received more than $10 million of funding from the VA in 2016. We also earned more than $14 million in funds from non-VA sources.
