The new clinic will offer much of the same services the current, smaller clinic offers and veterans seeking specialized care will still need to drive to Las Vegas. However, the larger space better equips the VA to handle a growing population.

The current clinic needed a new home after the agency was told its lease would end. An examination of six months of appointment data last year at VA hospitals and clinics by The Associated Press showed the Pahrump clinic had very few waits longer than 30 days.

Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) are a great asset for veterans seeking care, for the exact reasons you state. I live in an area with widely disbursed rural locations where veterans live. Some drive an entire day to get to the Seattle VAMC or American Lake (Tacoma) VAMC. By having our CBOCs, it really saves them lots of stress...

My area is served by a CBOC (that looks remarkably like the Pahrump building). Service is outstanding, but crowded.
