The Lockport Veterans Affairs health clinic will celebrate the opening of its new location at 5883 Snyder Drive with a ribbon cutting at 11 a.m. Wednesday.
The clinic moved to 5883 Snyder Drive under a contract with CR Associates, who will operate the clinic for veterans at this site.
The building will be renovated to provide a facility with enhanced services for current and new veterans. The services will include primary and specialty care, behavioral health care, tele-medicine, MOVE! (Managing Overweight and/or Obesity Everywhere Program), prescription processing and smoking cessation.
Parking is available in a convenient location that is accessible by bus. The clinic is open weekdays from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., but is closed from noon to 1 p.m. Veterans can call 438-3890 to make an appointment.
All CRA providers are board-certified with a history of serving veterans, operating 27 clinics throughout the United States. Four of the 27 are within Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 in New York state.
Last year, VA Western New York Healthcare System provided care to more than 40,000 veterans.
