	Hefley (CO05) - Press Release - Hefley Wins Approval to Relocate Veterans Hospital to Fitzsimons (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)

		However, the possibility for the Denver Veterans Medical Center to move to Fitzsimons and co-locate with University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and University of Colorado Hospital is a unique opportunity to provide solid and constructive solutions to these challenges.
