JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A new Veterans Affairs medical clinic is scheduled to open in Juneau next spring, allowing former service members to avoid traveling to Anchorage for routine care.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs plans to open the clinic in the Juneau Federal Building. It will provide basic primary care services, preventive health care and some mental health services.
The VA currently has facilities in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Kenai and Wasilla, and it sends a medical provider to Juneau once a month to meet with patients.
The Southeast is home to 7,600 veterans.
