New Clinic
Will Eliminate the Long Drives to Health Care Facilities for Area Veterans
WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) today announced
that a location has officially been selected to build the new Clare
Veterans’ clinic. Stabenow has led the fight to secure new VA
health clinics in Michigan and strengthen veterans’ access to
health care working with veterans and community leaders across the state.
Alpena Marc will be building the new clinic, which will be located in
Vernon Township at 11775 N. Isabella Rd. This clinic will help ease
the burden of veterans in Clare and the surrounding area who regularly
make long and often difficult trips to VA hospitals in other parts of
the state to receive basic medical services.
“This health clinic is a victory for Clare area veterans and their
families,” said Stabenow. “For too many of our veterans,
long drives to clinics have prevented them from accessing the quality
health care services they need. This clinic helps ensure our country
keeps its promise to our veterans, who deserve nothing less than our
unwavering support.”
“We’re thrilled that this clinic will be coming to the community
of Clare,” said Jeff Konczak, Alpena Marc LLC. “We want
to thank Senator Stabenow for her leadership and support over the years
to secure this clinic.”
The contract was awarded by the U.S. Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
