Last month, we had the honor of breaking ground on our new primary care clinic in South Salt Lake. In addition to being in a more central location that will be easier for Veterans to get to than our main campus, this clinic will give us space to further expand our capabilities! We look forward to opening these doors to Veterans in late 2028!
