Tennessee Valley Healthcare System has broken ground on a new VA clinic at 6401 Shallowford Road. The new clinic will replace the current clinic on Debra Road when it opens in the spring of 2021.
At 75,000 square feet, the new clinic will be more than double the size of the existing VA outpatient clinic and will serve more than 25,000 veteran enrollees in Chattanooga and its surrounding counties.
The clinic will provide primary care, women veterans health care, mental health, audiology, physical medicine rehabilitation, dental, imaging and lab services.
The clinic’s design is based on VA’s Patient Aligned Care Team model of care. This Veteran-centric model provides integrated care in a healing environment through the collaborative efforts of care teams consisting of physicians, nurses, social workers, nutritionists, pharmacists and whole health coaches.
The project is being developed by US Federal Properties. Hoefer Wysocki is the firm designing the new clinic.
