The new 25-thousand square foot facility on Courtney Drive is across the street from the previous building.

The new facility is more than double the previous size and will allow them to offer more services.

John Shea is the V-A Operations Manager at the Bend clinic.

"Portland provides the personnel.  We have more more room now so we can offer the services.  They'll travel over here one to two days a month for specialty clinics."

The VA clinic is adding a full-time physical therapist and a bigger audiology department and more eye care and mental health care.
