Lebanon VAMC opens first phase of expansion and remodel
Cris Collingwood//August 10, 2022
The Lebanon VA Medical Center has expanded and remodeled its Outpatient Behavioral Health Clinic to provide care to veterans of Southcentral Pennsylvania.
Today, the center held a ribbon cutting ceremony to show off the remodel, which is the first phase of a scheduled three-phase plan for the 23,000-square-foot space.
This first phase renovated 8,500 square feet which includes 18 consultation rooms, one nurse triage station, three group rooms and a new waiting area with check-in space, the center said.
The $1.8 million space will host an interprofessional team of clinicians ready to support veterans in their behavioral health needs through therapeutic and evidence-based programming. The new clinic will offer veterans a comfortable space with a focus on reducing stress and anxiety while promoting timely access, collaborative care, and a focus on veteran recovery goals.
“By creating this space, we are improving the environment of care,” said Associate Chief of Staff Dr. Piro Rjepaj. “Our commitment to veterans is unshakable and unwavering. Our promise to them is to give our very best, every day, always; and our hope for them is to know first-hand the experience of healing, wholeness and peace.”
The Lebanon VA Medical Center is one of 170 medical centers in the nation with the sole purpose of providing world-class medical care to America’s veterans. Lebanon VAMC covers veterans in Adams, Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry, Schuylkill and York counties.
Lebanon VAMC also oversees community clinics located in Mechanicsburg, Pottsville, Willow Street, Wyomissing and York.
