Veterans Affairs Secretary James Nicholson proclaimed that the community-based outpatient clinic in Newark, Ohio, is a “permanent facility” when he dedicated the facility Tuesday. The 3,500-square-foot Newark clinic had opened in March 2004 as a temporary VA clinic. A VA release said, the clinic’s staff of eight provided care to nearly 8,400 patients during Fiscal 2006.
