Daytona Beach VA Clinic Expands Access to Care with New Urgent Care Services for Veterans

The clinic is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and offers urgent care services for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries that require prompt medical attention but do not warrant an emergency room visit.

Services are available for conditions such as minor cuts, burns, wounds, infections, skin irritations, cold and flu symptoms, and other urgent medical needs. The addition of urgent care services helps ensure Veterans can receive treatment quickly, reducing unnecessary trips to emergency departments and improving overall access to care.

“This expansion represents another important milestone in our commitment to delivering world-class health care to the Veterans we serve,” said Timothy J. Cooke, Medical Center Director and CEO of the Orlando VA Healthcare System. “By offering urgent care services at the Daytona Beach VA Clinic, we are improving access, convenience, and timely treatment for Veterans throughout the region. Veterans deserve care when they need it, and this service helps us meet that promise.”

Located within the Daytona Beach VA Clinic, the urgent care center is staffed by skilled health care professionals dedicated to providing personalized, high-quality care in a welcoming environment.

“The addition of urgent care services allows us to better meet the evolving health care needs of our Veteran population,” said Dr. Linda Yarris-Ewart, Chief Medical Officer at the Daytona Beach VA Clinic. “Many health concerns cannot wait for a scheduled appointment, and this service gives Veterans another option to receive prompt evaluation and treatment from a team they know and trust.”
