New outpatient clinic in Burlington, Iowa, is a relocation and expansion of previous smaller clinic, and will create care opportunities for 3,000 additional veterans.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs on Nov. 9vopened its 47th new healthcare clinic since 2025. VA held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the opening of the new outpatient clinic in West Burlington, Iowa, which is a relocation and expansion of the smaller clinic in Burlington that opened in 2021.
At nearly 18,000 square feet, the new clinic is more than five times the size of the old facility. This space will enable VA to provide new services to veterans, including radiology, physical therapy and audiology in addition to expanded primary care, mental health, lab, telehealth and other services.
The new clinic will be able to serve more than 3,000 veterans when it reaches full operating capacity – far more than the roughly 900 veterans who were seen at the old clinic – and will ensure VA can continue to meet the growing needs of local veterans.
“Veterans deserve quick and convenient access to the care they’ve earned through their service, and this new clinic will help ensure VA delivers for veterans in and around West Burlington for years to come,” said VA Secretary Doug Collins.
Opening the new clinic in Iowa and dozens of other clinics across the country is one of several ways VA is expanding veteran healthcare choice, availability and quality – changes veterans are noticing, as more than 300,000 new veterans have enrolled in VA healthcare in 2026.
