Making access to health care easier for Veterans

To make access to health care easier and closer to home, the Veterans Health Administration utilizes more than 1,200 outpatient clinics across the country. These clinics provide the most common outpatient services, including health and wellness visits, without the hassle of visiting a larger medical center. The 44 outpatient clinics in VISN 4 continually expand care and services, and, when necessary, move or remodel to better serve Veterans.

Early this year, VISN 4 celebrated the opening of the relocated and expanded Cumberland County VA Outpatient Clinic in Vineland, New Jersey. U.S. Representative Frank LoBiondo participated in the ceremony. The new, larger clinic allows VA to serve more Veterans. It has improved waiting areas, more exam rooms, and additional space for group clinics, support groups, and expanded telehealth services.

Last fall, Erie VA Medical Center unveiled a newly renovated Warren County VA Outpatient Clinic. The renovation added 2,000 square feet to the existing clinic and included a new women's health suite to assure privacy, a larger group room to increase capacity for telehealth groups, a larger waiting and reception area to improve patient privacy, additional exam rooms, an area to accommodate the expansion of specialty care services, and additional handicapped parking for easier access.

This summer, VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System's Beaver County Outpatient Clinic will move from its current location in Monaca three miles away to a new location in Rochester, Pennsylvania. The relocated clinic is larger, has ample parking, and is on the public bus route.
