The Chillicothe VA Medical Center provides acute and chronic psychiatric services, primary and secondary medical services, and a wide range of nursing home care services to the veterans residing primarily in southeastern and south central Ohio. The Medical Center also serves as a chronic psychiatric referral center for the southern medical centers in Network 10.

The facility, authorized for a total of 297 beds, has 35 acute medical beds, 25 psychiatric beds, 25 PRRTP beds, 50 Domiciliary beds, and 162 nursing home beds. 

An active ambulatory care setting, including several mental health services, specialty medical services and several specialized women veterans clinics, is also available. VAMC Chillicothe also operates five Community Based Outpatient Clinics in Athens, Cambridge, Lancaster, Marietta and Portsmouth, Ohio.  

The Chillicothe outplacement program, which includes both the community nursing home and residential care programs, remains one of the largest of its kind within the Department of Veterans Affairs.
