Since expanding hours, patient visits have collectively increased due to military Veterans having more flexibility in scheduling around work and personal commitments.

"We are committed to providing the best possible care for our Veterans, and that includes making our services more accessible," said James Doelling, Director of Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital. "By extending our clinic hours, we can see more patients and offer greater convenience to those we serve. The positive response we've received so far reinforces that this was the right decision for our Veteran community."
