CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WAND) — The VA Illiana Health Care System cut the ribbon on a new VA clinic in Champaign.

The Champaign VA Clinic hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on July 16, joining a network of VA Illiana clinics serving veterans in Bloomington, Danville, Decatur, Mattoon, Peoria and Springfield. It is located at 1702 S. Mattis Ave. in Champaign.

"By opening this clinic in Champaign, we are taking an important step toward meeting veterans where they are," VA Illiana Executive Director Dr. Staci Williams said. "Our goal is to expand health care services that are more convenient and accessible for the communities we serve."
