The Veteran’s Administration is planning to expand the Junction City Community Based Outpatient Clinic within the next 12 to 18 months.

The Director of the VA Eastern Kansas Healthcare System, Rudy Klopfer, explained that there is a need to expand the Junction City clinic. “Two teams that each handle around a thousand patients is not large enough. And so, we have plans to secure another space or another location, and to provide extra space, tripling the size of our clinic from about 33-hundred to close to ten thousand square feet to house our staff.”

The new facility would be large enough to allow the VA to add another team at the clinic to focus on primary care and mental health needs as well as other staff to focus on other needs.
