After flooding that occurred weeks ago, a portion of the Zanesville VA Clinic reopened today.

Up to this point, appointments were being sent to other clinics in Newark and Columbus and two mobile VA clinic vehicles were brought into the side parking lot for primary care appointments.

While repairs are still underway, the clinic is using addition space in the same plaza to see patients, according to a media advisory. The space being used is located in Suite J of the plaza.

All Primary Care, Lab, Pharmacy and Behavioral Health services will operate out of the Zanesville clinic and the adjacent space in the plaza, according to the media advisory. Eye clinic patients will continue visiting the Daniel L. Kinnard VA Clinic in Newark or the Chalmers P. Wylie Veterans Outpatient Clinic in Columbus until repairs are completed.

The Zanesville clinic will resume all operations in its clinic after all repairs are made in late October as long as repairs go according to plan.

The VA Clinic is still contacting patients to confirm their appointments. If VA patients have any questions call the VA Contact Center in Columbus at 614.257.5200.
