Baldwin Park Clinic

Lake Baldwin Clinic

I am also working to ensure that the Baldwin Park Clinic and building it occupies continue to be utilized for primary, inpatient and domiciliary care for our returning veterans and those other veterans who require this type of care.

Under this plan, the Baldwin Park clinic would continue to provide essential medical and clinical services for the new VAMC including clinical and primary care assistance, lab work, and pharmacy and outpatient services, including mental health care. Because Florida’s veteran population continues to expand, it is important to continue these veteran medical services at this facility for those veterans on the north side of the community so that they can continue to have access to these essential services.

I also support maintaining a domiciliary care unit in the remaining portion of the hospital, either by the VA or contract services that would provide inpatient and domiciliary care for both our returning veterans and those others who are in need of this type of care.

To see that the Baldwin Park facility continues to provide care for our veterans, I have sent a letter to Secretary Shinseki of the VA stating my proposal. I am confident that we will be able to work together to make this a reality.

The VA continues to review my request regarding keeping the current facility at Baldwin Park open following the opening of the new hospital and clinic in Orlando.  The VA will report back on their decision as the new hospital opens and they review the patient casework levels.
