A health service for a VAMC health system and its facilities inherits the national description from the VA service taxonomy, whether or not it is entirely accurate for the system.
An editor can add a short paragraph/up to 6 bullet points to represent the types of care provided across the system which is then propagated to all of the facilities, whether or not they provide each of those types of care.

User stories
As a VAMC editor, I need to be able to accurately represent the the types of care and/or procedures which are available
within a VAMC health care system
and at a facility level
so that Veterans understand where they should receive care.
Variations
the types of care and/or procedures available within a VAMC health care system are different than the national description
all types of care and/or procedures are not universally offered at all facilities within the system
Example:
A VAMC system offers the following radiology services
Xrays
Ultrasounds
Computer Tomography (CT)
Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Xray services may be universally available at all locations but PET scans may only be available at the Medical Center.
