Yes, it does still exist but under a different name. It is now the Dwight D.
Eisenhower VA Hospital. It is a part of the Eastern Kansas Health Care System
of Veteran's Affairs. The phone number is 913-682-2000. Address is:

4101 S. 4th Street Trafficway
Leavenworth, Kansas, 66048

Below is a website for more information about it. I need to get offline for a
bit but will look and see if I can find anything further for you when I get
back online. Do you have any further information about your John
Buchanan....dates, place of birth, etc?
