Pittsburgh , PA — The Belmont County VA Outpatient Clinic will move to its new, larger space in in the Ohio Valley Mall, 67800 Mall Ring Road, Suite 215, St. Clairsville, Ohio 43950 on March

increasing number of Belmont County area Veterans who use VA care and allow for the addition of new health care services at the facility, including limited audiology services and more

telehealth spaces. The Belmont clinic was established approximately 20 years ago. VA data shows that more than 5,100 individual Veterans have used the clinic in the past year. The new clinic

will host a grand opening and open house on April 12. A Veterans Town Hall will be scheduled in Belmont County in spring/summer 2019, location to be determined. Media will be notified of

both. The Belmont County VA Outpatient Clinic is part of VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS). VAPHS is comprised of the University Drive and H.J. Heinz III medical centers in Pittsburgh

and four additional outpatient clinics located in Beaver, Fayette, Washington, and Westmoreland counties in Pennsylvania. Veterans can check on their eligibility and enrollment status by
