The American Legion
Feb 04, 2021
With a veterans population approaching 20,000 in the area, the North Florida/South Georgia Department of Veterans Affairs Health System’s began offering COVID-19 vaccinations at Villages Outpatient Clinic. But because of social distancing protocols, the clinic had to reduce its capacity for other procedures and appointments that take place at the clinic.
Fortunately, also located in nearby Lady Lake is the world’s largest American Legion post, Veterans Memorial Post 347. With both a large meeting room and parking lot, the post looked like a perfect location for the clinic to expand its vaccination operation.
So the clinic reached out to the post, which spent little time debating how to respond.
