The community can get its first look at Galesburg’s new VA outpatient clinic during a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday.
The Department of Veterans Affairs invites the community to a dedication ceremony for the newly established Lane A. Evans Community Based Outpatient Clinic from 2 to 3 p.m. Friday at 1090 W. Carl Sandburg Dr., Suite 100, site of the former Bergner’s store at Sandburg Mall.
The new Galesburg VA clinic will lease nearly 20,000 square feet of the Bergner’s building. The move will allow the Galesburg VA clinic to nearly double in size and provide additional services.
The new space will provide primary care, radiology, audiology (including an audiology booth), optometry, laboratory testing, expanded physical therapy and mental health services and telehealth capability. There is also space provided to expand the provision of some specialty care in the future.
The clinic is named in honor of Lane A. Evans — a dedicated Marine Corps Veteran, congressman for Illinois’ 17th Congressional District, and a fervent advocate for Veterans’ rights.
