The new VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinic will be 45 thousand square feet. That s almost three times the size of the current facility.
Sandra Horsman is director of the VA Black Hills Health Care System. She says the upgrade is vital for veterans.
“So it s not just about health care. I tell my team if all we did was provide health care, we could do that anywhere in the community. What we do best is all of our staff recognize the challenges and the struggles that our veterans face. And they re different than the average citizen.”
“For the first time we re going to be able to incorporate a women s clinic, as opposed to trying to retrofit it. And our women veterans are our fastest and number one growing veteran population.”
