NEW HEALTH CARE FACILITY FOR VETS COMING TO CAMDEN
Camden County Veteran’s Affairs Community Based Outpatient Annex
For Immediate Release: December 8, 2008
Contacts: KEN SHUTTLERWORTH 609-472-8837

Veterans living in Camden County will soon have better health care access at a new Veterans Affairs Community Based Outpatient Annex (CBOA) located in the new Camden County Improvement Authority garage retail space on Broadway in Camden, NJ. Once a lease agreement is reached, the new clinic will become an annex of the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center, which serves more than 350,000 veterans in an eight-county area of Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Health care services slated to be provided at this facility will include primary care, annual physical exams, preventative health services, immunizations, routine lab work and the drawing of special lab specimens for testing at the VA, EKG’s, patient education, nursing care, and mental health diagnostic and treatment services.

This facility will provide local veterans with immediate improvement in primary care and with continuity of care at a convenient location. Because of the availability of better outpatient health care, hospital length of stays should decrease and patients will receive consistent post-discharge follow-up care closer to their homes. The Philadelphia VA Medical Center also operates community clinics in Horsham, Pa., Philadelphia, Gloucester County, N.J., and Fort Dix, N.J.

This facility is located close to Camden’s Walter Rand Transportation Center near PATCO's High Speedline Broadway Station which makes it conveniently accessible for area veterans.
