SHENANDOAH – U.S. Congressman Steve King is pushing full-force for construction of a Veterans Administration (VA) clinic in Shenandoah. King released the following statement today following communication from the Director of the Veterans Integrated Service Network on funding in the VA budget for a new Shenandoah clinic:

“The Shenandoah community made an impression with their continued support for a new clinic, and the VA has heard us. We are closer than we’ve ever been to finally getting a VA clinic in Shenandoah. I will continue to work with federal officials to make sure veterans from all over southwest Iowa will have access to quality healthcare without being forced to drive hours to reach a clinic. Our country must uphold the promise we have made to those who selflessly served our country.”
