The Portland VA Medical Center will begin seeing about 1,500 patients at the new VA Newport Clinic beginning in May.
The VA Newport Clinic will be collocated at the Newport Community Health Center located 1010 SW Coast Highway in Newport. The VA clinic will see enrolled Veteran patients Monday through Thursday. The new facility will provide care to enrolled Veterans located in Lincoln County.
"This is really great news for our Veterans in Lincoln County," said Portland VA Medical Center Acting Director David Stockwell. "It will allow us to relocate a portion of our primary care services to a location more convenient for our Veterans in Lincoln County." The Portland VA Medical Center is committed to providing quality health care to enrolled Veterans closer to their home. Opening the VA Clinic in Newport will eliminate the need for Veterans living in Lincoln County to travel to Salem or Portland for their primary care if they chose to receive their care in Newport.
The Portland VA Medical Center serves more than 70,000 veterans in Oregon and Southwest Washington. In addition to the main campus located on Marquam Hill, the Portland VA Medical Center operates the Vancouver campus and clinics located in East Portland, Hillsboro, Salem, Warrenton, Bend and The Dalles, Ore.
