Outpatient Clinics

Community Based Outpatient Center at Olympic Medicel Center, Port Angeles:

In Port Angeles, citizens are working to establish a VA Community Based Outpatient Center (CBOC) to serve local veterans. Currently, those on the roles must travel to the Bremerton CBOC. That center is taking no new patients. As a result, vets from Port Angeles not currently enrolled at the Bremerton Center must now extend their journey by adding a trek across the Sound to the VA Medical Center in Seattle. Basically, from Port Angeles, counting travel time only, the three hour round trip to Bremerton increases to a seven hour round trip for each treatment the veteran must have. Vets in the western portion of the County may additionally endure up to a four hour round trip to travel to Port Angeles. Congressman Norm Dicks has iuntroduced legislation to create a CBOC in Port Angeles. Click on the link below for details.
