Veterans Administration Secretary James Peake is expected at the opening of a new VA outpatient clinic in Charlotte that officials hope will provide "one-stop shopping" for all veterans.
The Charlotte Observer reported that the 52,000-square-foot clinic that's scheduled to open Monday will include a lab, pharmacy, eye and audiology clinics and radiology services.
Fifteen doctors will staff the clinic, which will serve veterans from Mecklenburg, Gaston, Cabarrus, Union, Gaston and Lincoln counties.
Carolyn Adams is the director of Salisbury's VA hospital, which also oversees the Charlotte clinic, along with clinics in Winston-Salem and Hickory.
She said the clinic is an effort to "provide easy access to veterans" and one-stop shopping.
