The Urology Clinic at the Greater Los Angeles VA Medical Center has been renamed as the Carol J. Bennett, MD Urology Clinic. Dr. Bennett was the first Black woman to be board-certified by the American Board of Urology and the first female faculty member at UCLA Urology. She was later appointed as the Chief of Urology at the West Los Angeles VA. Dr. Joseph Shirk, Acting Chief of Urology at the Greater Los Angeles VA Health System, said “Dr. Bennett is a trailblazer and has been an absolute inspiration to many during her 30 years at the VA. The newly minted Carol J. Bennett, MD Urology Clinic at the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center is a state-of-the-art facility that she built from the ground up, allowing us to provide cutting edge care to thousands of veterans.” Dr. Bennett is “thrilled and humbled in equal measures by the honor of having the VA Urology Clinic named in my honor. Our Veterans deserve our best medical care. We will always strive to deliver that.”
