New clinic for veterans expected to open in area
Odessa American Online Eighty-two percent of veterans the Big Springs Veteran Affairs Hospital serves live in outlying areas. That’s why the hospital is looking to open a new medical clinic in the Odessa or Midland area, Public Affairs Officer Iva Jo Hanslik said. Big Springs serves vets living in Ector, Midland, Ward, Winkler, Crane, Upton and Loving counties. The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center had a clinic in the same building until it closed the office in 2009, when Texas
Tech consolidated its Odessa operations into its downtown campus. |
