With the lease contract for the VA Health Care Center at Harlingen with UTRGV expiring in 2022, a VA official said the university wants them to vacate the property next year while UTRGV claims that’s not true and that it’s willing to work with the VA to serve Valley veterans.
U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-Brownsville, initially brought the dispute to light when he wrote a letter to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough calling for a VA hospital in the Rio Grande Valley.
When asked for comment, Gonzalez’s staff referred all questions to Patrick Gonzales, UTRGV’s vice president of marketing and communications.
Gonzales confirmed that the lease between the two parties for the Veterans Outpatient Clinic located in Harlingen ended in May 2022.
