U.S. Senator Susan Collins today praised the Department of Veterans’ Affairs’ announcement to open a new outpatient clinic in the Lewiston-Auburn area. The new clinic is expected to open within the next 15 months and will allow area VA patients to receive their healthcare closer to home.
In response to the announcement, Senator Collins released the following statement:
“This is good news for our veterans,” said Senator Collins. “The new clinic will provide our veterans in the Lewiston-Auburn area with improved care, closer to home. In a rural state like Maine, rural VA care is often a critical issue, with veterans miles away from the nearest VA clinic. I applaud the VA’s decision to open a new clinic in the Twin Cities area.”
