EUGENE, Ore. — A new Veterans Affairs clinic in Eugene, Oregon, is set to open its doors early next year.

The Register-Guard reports that the agency announced Wednesday that the new clinic in northern Eugene would open Jan. 25. The new center will replace the VA outpatient clinic in the western part of the city.

The public has been invited to tour the facility throughout the month of January, prior to the opening day ceremony.

The 120,000-square-foot center will provide primary care, mental health, women’s health and other services. A pharmacy will also be available on site.
