``` SUBJECT: removed from VAST Hi [VAMC editor(s) who own the node in CMS] We see that [name of facility] has been removed from VAST. If this facility has been permanently closed or moved, you can work with us to unpublish the facility from the CMS and remove it from VA.gov. Because some Veterans may have bookmarked this facility, external sites may have linked to it, and because it can take a little time for search engines to catch up to web content, we want prevent errors and bad web experiences for our Veterans. In order to do that we have some questions about the nature of this closure so that we can help redirect Veterans to the right place and understand this change. 1. Was this facility replaced with another facility? If yes, which one? 2. Is there a news release or story about this published on your VAMC website? 3. Anything else we should know about this facility closure? If this facility has been removed from VAST in error, please notify the VA Drupal CMS Help Desk Support Team by writing to support@va-gov.atlassian.net, and please also notify your VAST coordinator.

@ian-sears Could you follow up with the editor to confirm that this is permanently closed? I'm seeing on the node: "Marion VA Clinic is temporarily closed."

[ian-sears]

I reached out to the Editor, which looks to be lisa.trombley@va.gov via Jira Ticket https://va-gov.atlassian.net/browse/VAHELP-7218 to ask if this facility is Closed. Awaiting Editor.

[ian-sears]

UPDATE: The VISN 9 PAO replied to us via VHA DM. "There is a working action regarding this CBOC. We anticipate a memo soon. The information would guide our next steps regarding the page and subsequent public information.

I am also tracking the removal from the VAST system; however, the higher-level notification should precede further public communication.

Since the Marion VA Clinic has been temporarily closed since January 2023, perhaps the page can be adjusted to reflect the temporary closure until we receive additional information. "

Also, the individual that provided this info is Cade, Mikaela T. Mikaela.Cade@va.gov (NOT the Editor - TBD)

Update: Aug 6 Awaiting Editor. Followed up with VHADigitalMedia for status/update. Awaiting their reply. VHA DM likely has to confer with the Editor prior to reply here. This was removed from source on Feb 12 and we've been asked to wait pending action on July 9. Reference VAHELP-7218 CMS Help Desk

@ian-sears @TroyCMSSupport Because the redirect has been deployed, the Veteran-facing work for this is done. This can be closed.

Editor and VHADigitalMedia have been notified that closure is complete. Ref: VAHELP-7218
