The following is a news release from the Amarillo VA Health Care System:

The Amarillo VA Health Care System has received a contract award from the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs to build a new Lubbock Community Based Outpatient Clinic on the campus of Texas Tech University. This $12.3 million project will provide nearly 94,000 square feet of usable clinic space, which more than doubles the footprint of the current clinic.

“This project shows the commitment the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs has for our Veterans in the Lubbock area, and the outstanding support by our community partners to provide a fully-modern clinic to meet the needs of Veteran health care in the Hub City,” said Mike Kiefer, Amarillo VA Health Care System Director. “I am beyond excited to see this project come to fruition, as I understand how important this facility is to our Veterans, Veteran family members and our staff in Lubbock.”
