  "We have professionals who take care of veterans in their homes," said Edward Seiler, director of the VA Medical Center.

  "If you're asking for my reaction, it's a shame," Fallon said.
  
  Seiler said the VA Medical Center in Huntington serves 10 counties in West Virginia, 12 in Kentucky and two in Ohio.

  "We're definitely in an expansion, building mode right now," said Edward H. Seiler, director of the Huntington VA Medical Center.
  ...
  Seiler said the 15,000-square-foot, three-story building would likely be complete by fall 2010 and would house most of the center's outpatient mental health clinics, which are now located in the adjacent, main hospital.
  
  He said the current project is the largest of several that will create a mental health campus on the VA grounds. The building was previously a nurses dormitory when the hospital was built in 1932 and was used as a research building for many years afterward.
  
  "It's basically been unused for a number of years except for storage," he said.
  
  He said the building will be gutted and renovated to accommodate mental health services.
  
  As the medical center expands, Seiler said the VA continues to create jobs in the Huntington area.
  
  "In the last year and a half we've increased staffing at the hospital by about 150 employees," he said.
  ...
  Around the first of January, Seiler expects work to begin on a third building, which will be renovated to house a 20-bed residential rehabilitation program for veterans with post traumatic stress and substance use disorders. He said that project costs around $4.2 million.
  
  The relocation of many mental health services will free up some much-needed room in the main hospital, Seiler said. When the new spaces are complete, programs such as the outpatient mental health clinics will move. VA staff are now in the process of deciding how they will use the new space. One option, Seiler said, is to pursue having an inpatient acute psychiatry unit. Currently, patients who need such services are transferred to facilities, such as those in Lexington, Ky., or Chillicothe, Ohio.
  
  "We would like to be able to take care of those patients here in Huntington," Seiler said.
  
  The Huntington VA also has five other projects in the works thanks to more than $6 million in stimulus funding. Those include steam distribution system upgrades ($1.5 million), refurbishing the outpatient waiting area ($250,000), updating the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system ($4 million), updating inpatient wards ($250,000), and renovating the physical medicine and rehabilitation and prosthetic departments ($600,000).
  
  The VA also is looking forward to renovating two of its inpatient medical surgical wards that currently have two four-bed bedrooms, Seiler said.
