Milwaukee VA Women’s Clinic to Be Renamed the Anna Mae Robertson VA Well Woman Clinic

If you’re a veteran in the Milwaukee area using the VA’s women’s health services, get ready for a new address on your paperwork. This piece of legislation focuses entirely on a single, administrative change: officially renaming the women’s health clinic at the Clement J. Zablocki Veterans’ Administration Medical Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The Name Change Mandate

This bill simply mandates that the clinic will now be known as the “Anna Mae Robertson VA Well Woman Clinic.” That’s it. It’s a straightforward designation that doesn't change the services offered, the staff, or who is eligible to receive care. It’s about recognition and official designation (SEC. 1).

What This Means for Everyday Life

For the veterans who use this facility, the only real change is the name on the door and on official correspondence. If you’re filling out a form or looking up the clinic’s location, you’ll need to use the new name. The bill also requires that every official government document, map, or record that previously referenced the old name must now treat that reference as pointing to the new Anna Mae Robertson VA Well Woman Clinic. This kind of legislation is primarily about honoring an individual—Anna Mae Robertson—by permanently associating her name with a crucial public health facility serving female veterans.

Since this bill is purely about naming, there are no sweeping policy shifts, no new regulations to worry about, and no immediate budgetary impacts beyond the minor administrative costs of updating signage and digital records. It’s the kind of legislation that flies under the radar but ensures that important contributions are formally recognized within the federal system.
