New VA clinic set to open in Champaign

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WAND) — A new VA clinic is scheduled to open in Champaign this summer.

Carle Health is partnering with the VA Illiana Health Care System to bring clinical services to the Champaign community with the opening of the Champaign VA Clinic.

The new facility will be located at 1702 S. Mattis Ave., Suite #101. It will open next to the recently announced Champaign Endoscopy Center and the Carle Neuroscience Institute Sleep Medicine.

"We often engage community partners to expand access to resources needed by our patients and the wider population we serve," said Caleb Miller, senior vice president of Carle Specialty and Ambulatory Care. "The VA is uniquely qualified to provide clinical care for veterans. And we're proud to support the VA as they address the issues impacting their patients' health and wellbeing."

The Champaign VA Clinic will join the network of VA Illiana Clinics serving veterans in Bloomington, Danville, Decatur, Mattoon, Peoria and Springfield.

The clinic is expected to open this summer, with renovations currently underway.
