Full text of the Press Release

The town hall takes place 5-6 p.m. in the Douglas County Libraries event hall at 360 Village Square Lane in Castle Pines. VA ECHCS Director Michael Kilmer will encourage an exchange of information and feedback that will help VA health care meet local Veteran needs.

For many area Veterans, the town hall will be their first opportunity to learn about the new Castle Rock VA Clinic. The newly leased outpatient clinic location is getting built at the northeast corner of Prairie Hawk Drive and Dacoro Lane. It’s scheduled to open in 2024 and will provide primary care services to Veterans enrolled in VA health care.

“I’m a big believer in Veterans returning home to supportive communities, where VA is the backbone of health care delivery,” said Kilmer. “This new clinic will provide an opportunity for Veterans to receive the care they need where they need it, here in Douglas County.”

The meeting is open to all members of the public, including congressional representatives, Veterans service organizations, state and local government offices, non-governmental organizations and other community partners and stakeholders.
