New VA clinic in Everett already has 5,300 patients
EVERETT — U.S. Rep. Kim Schrier visited the sparkling Veterans Affairs clinic on Friday morning, to learn more about the new services and what is still coming to the region.
“If you served our country and you put your life and your health at risk, the least we can do is provide the best health care and the best access,” said Schrier, a Democrat who represents the state’s 8th Congressional District. “And access is sometimes the struggle.”
While the 28,000-square-foot clinic in Everett officially opened for in-person services in October at 220 Olympic Blvd., the VA health system is still adding equipment, providers and services. The clinic already has 5,300 “enrolled patients” — meaning, patients who have their primary care provider on site.
Two of the 32 exam rooms are dedicated to women’s health, who make up just over 10% of enrolled patients in the broader Northwest Region.
