(Washington, DC) The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) today announced plans to open 38 new community-based clinics in 22 states. The plans include a new facility in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. The new facilities, called community-based outpatient clinics, or CBOCs, will become operational by October 2008. Local VA officials will keep communities and their veterans informed of milestones in the creation of the new CBOCs. With 153 hospitals and about 700 community-based clinics, VA operates the largest integrated health care system in the country. VAs health care budget of more than $34 billion this year will provide health care to about 5.5 million people during nearly 800,000 hospitalizations and 60 million outpatient visits.
