The following services will be offered in the new clinic: MRI, CT, ultrasound, and x-ray services as well as the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) will be located on the first floor. Optometry, Audiology, Pharmacy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Laboratory, Compensation and Pension, CWT, Homeless, and the Pre and Post-Surgical Clinic will also be located on the first floor. Primary Care services, OEF/OIF, wound care, and MOVE classroom will be located on the second floor. Dental, Mental Health, and Substance Abuse Clinics will be located on the third floor.

"It was an honor and a privilege to take part in the official opening of the new VA Clinic in Colorado Springs. This expanded facility will provide care to thousands more veterans in the Pikes Peak region. Thank you to everyone who made this event and facility possible. It is a small way that we can repay what we owe to our brave veterans."
