Broward Clinic Construction Update
The construction of the new Broward County VA Outpatient Clinic facility is currently in progress. The facility is located at 9800 West Commercial Boulevard, Sunrise, Florida. This new facility will encompass roughly 90,000 net usable square feet of space and will approximately double the amount of space for primary care and sub- specialty care clinics.
The Clinic will contain the transferred multi-specialty clinics, plus additional services to improve access to ambulatory care for residents living in Broward County, southern Palm Beach County, and northern Miami-Dade County. The new Clinic will improve patient care to over 150,000 veterans residing in Broward County. There was a 17% increase in outpatient visits from FY 2002 to FY 2005 and veteran enrollment for Broward County continues to grow in this market.
By providing efficient delivery of care in this new location, our veterans will benefit through enhanced quality of care. The new Clinic will offer a full array of high-tech health care services, along with additional space to accommodate improved clinical services in radiology, cardiology and pulmonary care, gastrointestinal services, women’s services, and urgent care.
The Broward VA Outpatient Clinic has been designed to accommodate and enhance patient access as well as improve continuity of medical care by providing all primary, specialized, and diagnostic services. The building’s construction completion date is estimated to be in the January of 2008. The Clinic will have a sound structural affluent layout of services and offices to deliver modern health care required for veterans. This new facility will allow the Miami VA Healthcare System to meet the mission of providing exceptional health care.
