New OKC clinic to give veterans more health care options

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday for an outpatient clinic in north Oklahoma City. The clinic, at 14400 Bogert Parkway, Suite 100, will serve more than 200,000 veterans from five counties in the region, according to the VA.

The facility, which is 23,000 square feet, will provide 10 clinical services and have a staff of 71 employees.

“The North Oklahoma City VA Clinic is a great new addition to the Oklahoma City VA Health Care System," said Paul Gregory, associate director of the Oklahoma City VA Health Care System.

"We are dedicated to providing comprehensive and quality care in locations closer to the communities of the veterans we serve. The new clinic will provide multiple clinical services, including Primary Care, Mental Health, Physical Therapy, Dental and more," Gregory said.

"We have increased our outpatient clinic locations throughout Oklahoma and will continue our expansion of services this year with a clinic in Shawnee opening in the fall," he said.
