The VA Outpatient Clinic in Morehead City has a new location. It is now located on 2900 Arendell Street.

The clinic has doubled in size and currently treats 7,200 local veterans.

The clinic has expanded its mental health and physical therapy services and has added Telehealth as an option.

Nurse Manager and retired Navy veteran Marion Cumbo said having the clinic in Morehead City helps meets the needs of the rural community, the needs of all veterans in Eastern Carolina.

"It feels great to see the VA expanding these services. Veterans are able to get lab work done, they are able to see a nutritionist. I'm super excited about Telehealth, mental health, and our primary care," Cumbo said. "We've come a long way with the VA and it makes me proud to be able to offer these services."

Cumbo said the clinic hopes to continue to expand the women's center. She said about 26 percent of their patients are retired women veterans.
