“This is wonderful news for our veterans who have dedicated their lives to defending our freedom,” Ross said.  “Our veterans depend on the services of the VA system, especially when it comes to their health.  For years, they have had to travel as far as Little Rock, Fayetteville, or even Shreveport, Louisiana to receive care.  We have worked hard to secure approval for this site; the new outpatient clinic in Mena will serve thousands of veterans in the area.  The implementation process has already started, meaning our veterans are one step closer to enjoying the convenience and quality care of the Mena clinic.”
