The Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Lafayette, Louisiana would be officially renamed the "Rodney C. Hamilton Sr. VA Clinic." Rodney Hamilton was a Korean War veteran and Purple Heart recipient who was wounded in combat in 1951 and later helped lead the effort to build the Lafayette clinic, which opened in 2016. He also served as an elected Lafayette city official from 1968 to 1972 and died in 2020 at age 88. The bill makes no changes to clinic services, funding, or veteran eligibility; it only updates the clinic's name in federal law, regulations, maps, and other official records.
