Locations
The Dole VA serves veterans in a 59 county area of Kansas. In addition to our main medical center in Wichita, we offer a number of services to our patients in five community-based outpatient clinics.
Waiting Areas
For your convenience and safely, we have special waiting areas throughout the facility. Please do not gather in the hallways or at the nurses stations.
Security
The Dole VA has a Police Service. Our officers provide 24-hour patrols of the facility and parking lots. For general police assistance, please dial 53207. In case of an emergency dial 3911. Report all suspicious or criminal activity, vehicle accidents, and personal property losses to the VA Police as soon as possible.
Lost and Found
Lost and Found is located in the Emergency Department in Building 1. You may also contact extension 53614.

Patient's Rights
The medical center respects the patient's right to make decisions about his or her care, treatment and services, and to involve the patient's family in care, treatment, and services decisions to the extent permitted by the patient or surrogate decision-maker. ‘Family’ is defined as a group of two or more persons united by blood, or adoptive, marital, domestic partnership, or other legal ties. The family may also be a person or persons not legally related to the individual (such as significant other, friend or caregiver) whom the individual considers to be family. A family member may be the surrogate decision-maker, as defined in VHA Handbook 1004.02, if authorized to make care decisions for the individual, should he or she lose decision-making capacity or choose to delegate decision making to another. The medical center allows a family member, friend or other individual to be present with the patient for emotional support during the course of stay. The medical center allows for the presence of a support individual of the patient's choice, unless the individual's presence infringes on others' rights or safety, or is medically or therapeutically contraindicated. The individual may or may not be the patient's surrogate decision-maker or legally authorized representative. The hospital prohibits discrimination based on age, race, ethnicity, religion, culture, language, physical or mental disability, socioeconomic status, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression.
