The Veterans Administration (VA) has released a statement on the situation in Mt. Vernon. Says closing of Mo. Rehabilitation center will not affect services or staff at VA there but may affect its location within Mt. Vernon. OFFICIAL STATEMENT: Veterans Health Care System of the Ozarks (VHSO) was informed on Monday, August 11, 2014 that the Missouri Rehabilitation Center will be closed effective October 31, 2014. This is the facility that we currently occupy for our Mt. Vernon community-based outpatient clinic. At this time, it is too soon to know what this means for the location of our clinic, but VA wants to assure all Veterans that health care will continue at MRC, the current location, if available. Alternative locations will be considered if required. We are working diligently with the Missouri Rehabilitation Center and our VA partners to determine how this may affect the location of our clinic. VHSO will do everything possible to continue care without disruption, and will notify Veterans if they are affected by the Missouri Rehabilitation Center closure. Should Veterans have any questions they should contact their primary care team. Additionally, we want to assure stakeholders that no VA clinic employee will be released due to the closing of the Missouri Rehabilitation Center. All employees are continuing normal operations, and will continue to work on providing the best care anywhere to our Veterans, regardless of any change to location, should one occur.
