New Ocala VA clinic opening next week

The North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System (NF/SGVHS) will open a new state-of-the-art VA Clinic in Ocala on Tuesday, Jan. 25.

The new clinic, located just off SR 200 west of I-75 is more than double the size of the current VA clinic located on East Silver Springs Blvd, and will offer primary care, mental health, audiology, podiatry, specimen collection, and telehealth services.

“We are excited to open our doors to the new clinic and are looking forward to providing health care services in this modern, state-of-the-art facility,” said NF/SGVHS Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jose Torres-Rodriguez in a press release.

While the new clinic will offer the services listed above, the Ocala West VA Clinic will continue to remain open to provide optometry services to Veterans until further notice.

“We are proud of this accomplishment and of the employees who work here that will provide exceptional health care to Veterans in this community for years to come,” said Executive Health System Director, David Isaacks in a press release.

Veterans who have appointments scheduled at the current Ocala VA Clinic, located at 1515 East Silver Springs Boulevard, on or after Jan. 25 will be seen at the new location.

The new facility is located at 4826 SW 49th Road, Ocala Florida. 34474.
