New Caldwell Veterans Clinic

Caldwell, ID
April 5, 2007

I attended the Grand Opening of a new Veterans Affairs Community-Based Outpatient Clinic in Caldwell. The new clinic houses 2,500 square feet of space, with plans for expansion in the works. It is located at 120 East Pine Street, Caldwell, near the West Valley Regional Medical Center.

The Caldwell center will offer basic medical and mental health care for veterans, including primary care, office visits for management of chronic medical illnesses and acute minor illnesses. Staff there will also collect routine blood tests and other lab samples. Specialty care and services beyond the scope of the Caldwell center will be referred to the Boise VA Medical Center.

Idaho is a fast growing state and the Department of Veterans Affairs is growing with us. I'm glad that VA will be able to provide more services closer to home for many Idaho and eastern Oregon veterans.
