CLARKSBURG, W.Va. -- Veterans seeking health care will soon have a new option.
The Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg plans to open a 7,000 square-foot outpatient clinic in Westover on Tuesday.
The Monongalia County Community Based Outpatient Clinic will offer preventive and primary health care, as well as mental health services and basic lab tests.
Plans call for the addition of radiology services next year.
The clinic will have telemedicine links to the VA center in Clarksburg, and it will help the VA expand its partnership with students and residents at the West Virginia University School of Medicine.
Clarksburg director William Cox said Friday that any veteran currently enrolled in the VA system can get treatment at the new facility.
