Dr. Jackie Schenkelberg, KCVA chief of primary care, said in a news release she believes the clinic will benefit veterans who live south and east of Kansas City.
“Veterans living in Johnson County [Kansas] will have access to all of these health care capabilities locally,” Schenkelberg said. “Not only will they have access to enhanced medical technologies close to home, veterans will also have improved access, particularly for services that had only been offered at the Linwood location.”
David Isaacks, KCVA Medical Center director, said in the release the main goal of building the facility was to expand access. The Lenexa location, he said, is now the largest community VA clinic in the KCVA health care system.
“We want to be the health care system veterans choose and trust," Isaacks said. "The new Lenexa VA Clinic makes that goal a reality for many veterans living in Johnson County.”
