New Eureka VA Clinic Officially Opens                   The San Francisco VA Medical Center has officially opened the new Eureka VA Clinic at 930 W. Harris St. The new clinic replaces VA's former location at 713 F.St. All clinic services have transferred from the current management of private contractors Dr. Bian Craig and Nancy Craig to the San Francisco VA Medical Center.                                                                                                             Services enrolled Veterans can receive include: primary care, mental health, pharmacy, laboratory test, x-rays, telemedicine, and home-based primary care. New Programs have also been added. These include audiology, optometry, podiatry, and prosthetics. In the future, Veterans will also be able to receive physical therapy. Expanded use of telemedicine to access specialty care at the medical center will help reduce the need for Humboldt County Veterans to make the 270-mile journey to San Francisco.                                                                                                                              "With more than 40 percent of America's Veterans living in rural areas, this new clinic is a perfect example of VA keeping our commitment to ensuring our rural Veterans receive quality care, " said Medical Center Director Larry Carroll in his welcoming remarks.                                                               For more information about the new Eureka VA Clinic call (707) 269-7500...www.visn21.va.gov
