Texas VA Clinic moves to larger location

Amarillo VA Health Care System held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the opening of the new location of the Childress VA Clinic on May 9, 2023.

The new Childress VA Clinic is located at 2305 Avenue F, NW, Ste. 900, Childress, Texas, 79201. It provides 3,000 square feet of administrative and clinical space for eligible Veterans to receive health care.

Veterans, community stakeholders, and congressional representatives attended the ceremony which was followed by a resource fair with staff from VA health care Eligibility & Enrollment, Suicide Prevention, Women’s Health, Whole Health and the PACT Act.

“We are excited to open this new location for our Childress area Veterans,” said Dr. Rodney Gonzalez, Amarillo VA director. “The improvements and additional space will continue to provide outstanding care for our area Veterans who deserve no less.”

A new level of care for Texas panhandle Veterans

“During my time in Congress and as a Veteran, I am committed to ensuring Veterans have access to the critical care they need, especially in rural areas like my district,” said Representative Ronny Jackson. “I am glad to see VA prioritize Veterans in Childress with the opening of this brand-new outpatient clinic.”

Leadership at Amarillo VA expect the new Childress VA Clinic to bring a new level of care to Veterans in the eastern Texas Panhandle, continuing their commitment to provide world class health care to Veterans.
