Senator Moran Announces Opening of Hays VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic

US Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas – ranking member of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee – has announced the opening of a new US Department of Veterans Affairs Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) in Hays.

The CBOC has been relocated just north of Interstate 70 to increase access to care for veterans in northwest Kansas. The new facility includes three additional exam rooms, increased square footage, up-to-date telecommunication digital security requirements, and a room dedicated to group therapy and mental health needs.

"Access to critical and sufficient healthcare should not be difficult, especially for veterans," said Senator Moran. "The Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center has put a tremendous amount of effort into creating an accessible and newer CBOC so that veterans across the state can receive the care they need."

"The CBOC in Hays was first opened in September 1999 and has served veterans continuously since," said the Dole VA Medical Center. "In the summer of 2022, it was announced the facility would move to its new location to provide more space for additional services as well as easier access to those traveling from outside the area."
