Read full article: New facility aims to improve health care access for veterans in Northwest Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Veterans living Northwest Jacksonville have limited access to health care facilities, according to a local health organization, but a new facility in the neighborhood is helping to change that. On Wednesday, Veterans Healthcare officially opened a new facility on North Myrtle Avenue at West 20th Street. “With this location, we can service the people in this area who otherwise wouldn’t have access to health care," said Ivorique Turner, DO, CEO and medical director of Veterans Healthcare. The facility offers primary and walk-in care, veteran disability exams, medication review and mental health services. “Having mental health services at this facility allows us to be able to serve the veterans in that way," said Turner, who is a Navy veteran.
