Bay City, MI - The Great Lakes Bay Vet Center, formerly at 5360 Hampton Place, Saginaw MI, has moved to a new location in Bay City MI, increasing access to services for eligible Veterans, service members, and their families in the Great Lakes Bay area.
The new site provides a more accessible location just off I-75 for residents of the 15 counties served with expanded parking; larger outdoor space for outreach, recreational, and whole health activities; and swing space for partnerships with Veteran Service organizations.
