April 16, 2013
Memphis, Tennessee – On Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 11:00 a.m., the VA Medical Center, located at 1030 Jefferson Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, will hold an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony to announce the grand opening of a new $3.66 million Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn (OEF/OIF/OND) building addition. The new 13,500 square foot center will offer many services for the increasing number of men and women who have returned from these wars. Post deployment screening and continuous care needs for multiple conditions including those related to polytrauma, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other specialty care needs are the focus for this new center. This open house ceremony marks the completion of work that began on this center in January 2011. Centers such as this assist soldiers in getting the VA health care and benefits to which they are entitled as they transition from the military.
Local dignitaries and community officials have been invited to the ceremony. Colonel Mark Devine, Wing Commander / 164th Airlift Wing / Tennessee Air National Guard, will serve as guest speaker. Tours will be offered and refreshments will be served. All are welcome to attend.
