URL Redirect

Current URL	Redirect Destination or New URL
https://www.va.gov/western-oahu-vet-center	https://www.va.gov/west-oahu-vet-center

Use one of the following:

1. Canonical URL change

Note: Canonical URL changes do not block the completion of the parent ticket. Once the URL redirect above has been deployed, the value to the Veteran is delivered. This ticket should be kept open until the URL change is verified, except in the case of a removal (as described below).

Instructions for canonical URL change

[ ] Verify that the new URL for the facility is published and accessible on VA.gov.
[ ] Contact Lighthouse via Slack at #cms-lighthouse channel that this facility requires a canonical link in the following format (replacing the placeholder data with the actual API Id and VA.gov URL):
- vha_691GM,https://www.va.gov/greater-los-angeles-health-care/locations/oxnard-va-clinic/
[ ] Add the "Awaiting CSV" flag to the facility node with a revision log message that includes a link to this ticket.
[ ] Let Help desk know this has been done, if not done by Help desk.

Wait (days or weeks, potentially)

[ ] After the canonical link has been added to the websites.csv and you have confirmation from Lighthouse that the CSV has been deployed, validate that the change has deployed by checking that the Facility Locator has been updated with the new url.
[ ] Update this ticket with a comment that the CSV change has been deployed.
