VA Portland Health Care System dedicated a new Community-Based Outpatient Clinic in Astoria

PRESS RELEASE

September 13, 2024

Astoria , OR — PORTLAND, Ore.–The VA Portland Health Care System dedicated a new Astoria Community-Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOC) on Friday, Sept. 13.

The facility is located at 3196 Marine Drive, in Astoria, and will benefit Veterans in the area by providing them with easier access to healthcare services for their needs. The clinic will provide outpatient services, including health and wellness visits.

The Astoria CBOC replaced the old VA clinic located at Camp Rilea in Warrenton. The need for a new clinic was prompted by an increasing demand for healthcare services among Veterans in the area, and the need to expand existing facilities to meet evolving healthcare needs. The new Astoria facility will ensure local Veterans living in the area will receive care in a timely manner. Nation-wide, the VA currently has over 800 Community-Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOC). VHA implemented these clinics to make access to health care easier.

The new facility is located near the Astoria Riverwalk (6.4 mile rail-trail), on the main thoroughfare through Astoria, a block from the trolley line & close to downtown. The location can provide convenient access for patients and staff for recreational activities and therapeutic benefits. The building has also incorporated Energy Star green technology into its design.
