TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) – Now, some north Mississippi Veterans won’t have to travel as far to see a doctor.

The newest Veterans Affairs contract community clinic officially opened Friday in Tupelo. The clinic is operated by Onsite OHS, Inc., and provides medical services to veterans.

VA officials say there are steps in place to make sure those who served our country receive the best care possible.

“We certainly have picked our contractor carefully, we have an excellent staff here, they have set up the clinic, we are going to have not only diagnostic medicine and primary care, but also integrated mental health care, they do laboratory services here.”

About 25 people work at the Tupelo VA clinic.
