Northfield Veterans Clinic.
MAYS LANDING U.S. Congressman Van Drew Thursday, July 1 announced that a veterans clinic will be opening in Atlantic County in the summer of 2023 to provide accessible health care to South Jersey veterans.
The 30,000-square-foot clinic to be located in Northfield is three times the size of the current clinic and will ensure that veterans will have accessible and affordable healthcare.
Veterans have risked their lives and dedicated themselves to preserve and protect our America, Van Drew said. Our brave men and women deserve the highest level of care and to be afforded the right of easy access to healthcare. For far too long our South Jersey veterans were forgotten about. They are every bit as noble, every bit as brave, and every bit as deserving as any veteran anywhere in our nation
Upon its completion, South Jersey veterans will have access to three state-of-the-art clinics, including those in Cape May and Cumberland counties.
I have pushed the administration and local leaders to ensure our veterans in South Jersey are taken care of and I am proud to represent South Jersey veterans. This is a wonderful announcement for South Jersey and a huge win for our veterans who will now be able to receive the care they deserve, Van Drew said.
The clinic will offer primary care, women's health, phlebotomy, specialty care, optometry, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and home-based primary care and care in the community. It will also be the only veterans clinic in South Jersey that provides on-site radiology, which will greatly reduce travel times for veterans to access essential healthcare services.
