Veterans Affairs Community Based Outpatient Clinic

Lima, OH

Design Collaborative completed the renovation of the Veterans Affairs Community Based Outpatient Clinic (VA CBOC) primary and specialty care clinic spaces in Lima, Ohio. The new design enables easier access to care for veterans by consolidating multiple services and providers into one area, as well as integrating prosthetic services to minimize patient travel to separate locations.

Building on a legacy of care tailored exclusively to veterans, the VA recently adopted new standards of care, which were integrated into this facility’s design. Completed in May 2020, the project is inclusive of 11,500 SF of medical office space on the Mercy Health – St. Rita’s Medical Center Campus. The new space includes 24 exam rooms for podiatry, ophthalmology, audiology, and mental health specialties, along with primary care. Transitioning from narrow, closed traditional office spaces, the new floor plan is open and vibrant with improved workflow, flexibility, and patient care.
