Veteran Clinic’s New Name Means More Hours, Potentially New Services
Wilmington, Ohio—October
9, 2014—The Wilmington Veterans’ Administration (VA) Clinic at 448 W. Main St.,
has received designation as a community-based outpatient clinic (CBOC), meaning
the primary care practice has expanded its access to veterans from four days to
five days a week.
Formerly, the office was closed on Tuesdays, but it is now open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., according to Stacia Ruby, public affairs officer at the Chillicothe VA Medical Center.
The Wilmington CBOC is an extension of the Chillicothe VA Campus. The local staff includes primary care physicians and nurses.
Hours were actually expanded August 1, but the formal CBOC designation did not take effect until October 1, Ruby said. New signage reflecting the name change will be installed later this month, she added.
“This could also mean future expanded medical services, but space is still limited there,” Ruby said. “But for now, more access means there will be one less day when veterans from that area have to be transported to Chillicothe for care.”
The VA has more than 800 community-based outpatient clinics, which were implemented to make access to health care easier. These clinics provide the most common outpatient services, including health and wellness visits, without the hassle of visiting a larger medical center.
VHA continues to expand their network of CBOCs to include more rural locations, making access to care closer to home. To find a CBOC near you visit: http://www2.va.gov/directory/guide/Allstate_flsh.asp?dnum=1
