COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - Before the Downtown VA Clinic on Comer Avenue in Columbus opened up, local veterans only could turn to the clinic on 13th Street for basic healthcare.
Many soldiers were left with the task of having to travel over 100 miles round-trip for healthcare services to Tuskegee, Dothan or Atlanta.
Dr. Carlos Wise is the chief medical officer for the new Downtown VA clinic, which is operated by the Central Alabama Veterans Health Care System.
