New VA Clinic Officially Opens In South Jersey

LINWOOD, NJ — The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has officially opened their new Atlantic County clinic in Linwood, more than doubling the space of the former Northfield location.

“Our goal is to provide more services to our growing Veteran population in South Jersey,” said VA Wilmington Interim Director Kim Butler. “This expansion allows us to increase existing services and accommodate the pending addition of new services such as x-ray, CT scan, and physical therapy.”

A ribbon cutting ceremony was held Jan. 5.

“It has been a long and bumpy road, but I am proud to see this clinic finally open its doors,” Congressman Jeff Van Drew said in a statement. “This all started way back in 2019, when we learned the lease on the old clinic was set to expire. From day one, the priority was making sure veterans here in Atlantic County would continue to have access to care close to home. There were delays and challenges along the way, such as COVID, rising costs, and site issues, but walking away was never an option. Our veterans waited long enough, and we were not going to back away from the commitments we made to them.”

The Atlantic County VA Clinic is now located at 1201 New Road, Suite 120, Linwood, NJ 08221.

“We’re excited to open this beautiful clinic for our South Jersey Veterans,” said Butler. “We couldn’t have done it without the ongoing support of the community, veteran service organizations, and local officials.”
