After evaluating several sites, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs chose a 28-acre North Jacksonville site for an outpatient clinic.
The 164,054-square-foot clinic will be developed at northwest Hyatt Road and Max Leggett Parkway.
It will replace the Jacksonville VA Southpoint clinic at 6900 Southpoint Drive N. and the Jacksonville VA University clinic at 3901 Memorial Health Plaza in Southside.
The Jacksonville 1 VA Clinic at 1536 N. Jefferson St. in Springfield will remain open. That clinic offers a wider range of services including dental, surgical, psychiatric, nursing, ancillary services, chronic illness treatment and urgent care.
The North Jacksonville clinic will provide primary care, mental health, expand on-site radiology, optometry and audiology services. Multispecialty rooms in the clinic will offer women’s health and telehealth along with other specialties.
It also will include a 30-bed domiciliary residential care space. The clinic and domiciliary will be connected via a covered walkway.
Duval Owens Signature LLP owns the 49.1-acre parcel where the clinic will be built.
