Sam Johnson Announces New VA Specialty Clinic in Conjunction with CBOC

Press Release

Today, U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson (TX-03) announced that the VA has approved a new specialty clinic to be built in conjunction with the VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) that will open in the spring of 2016. Johnson's work to see a new VA clinic open in the North Texas area has spanned several years. The announcement regarding this new specialty clinic comes just three months after the location decision for the CBOC.

"As a 29-year Air Force veteran and POW for nearly seven years, proper care and treatment for our servicemen and women has always been a top priority of mine," said Johnson. "That is why, to help our local veterans with the long commute to the Dallas VA hospital, I have been working to get a local clinic approved that would help ease the travel burden on North Texas veterans. While the previously announced CBOC will help ease that burden by providing veterans with primary care, this new specialty clinic will further help our veterans receive specialized care closer to home. With these two clinics, our hometown heroes will be able to receive high-quality health care that best meets their needs. This is another huge win for North Texas, and I look forward to sharing updates with our community as the process moves along."
