New Atlantic County Health Clinic Will Serve Veterans

NORTHFIELD, NJ — A new Atlantic County health clinic will open in the summer of 2023 in an effort to provide affordable healthcare to South Jersey veterans.

Congressman Jeff Van Drew announced the construction of this clinic on Thursday.

The new clinic will ensure that South Jersey veterans have accessible and affordable healthcare, according to a news release.

“Veterans have risked their lives and dedicated themselves to preserve and protect our America,” said Van Drew. “This completion of the new veterans clinic in Atlantic County, South Jersey will allow veterans to have access to three state of the art clinics between Cape May, Cumberland and Atlantic Counties. I have pushed the administration and local leaders to ensure our veterans in South Jersey are taken care of and I am proud to represent South Jersey veterans."

The clinic will be built in Northfield, New Jersey adjacent to the existing building. The new facility will be 30,000 square feet — three times the size of the current clinic.

Its services will include primary care, women’s health, phlebotomy, specialty care, optometry, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and home-based primary care and care in the community. It will also become the only veterans clinic in South Jersey to provide on-site radiology.

“I want to thank Director Vince Kane for being a true champion for the South Jersey Veteran community.” said Congressman Jeff Van Drew. “He has fought for the expansion of health care services for our Veterans and I am proud of the work we have done for the heroic men and women in South Jersey.”
