TROY – State Assemblyman Jake Ashby said the U.S. Veterans Administration should reverse its decision to close the Troy Community Based Outpatient Clinic at 295 River Street.
“The decision to close the Troy CBOC facility represents a tremendous error in judgment and a slap in the face to the thousands of veterans who rely on the VA for their medical coverage,” Ashby, R-Schodack, said in a statement issued Friday.
“I know many fellow Rensselaer County Veterans who utilize this facility for their care who will now be directed to facilities far outside of our county,” said Ashby, a combat veteran and the current Ranking Member of the Assembly Veterans Affairs Committee.
