On March 17, Pacific Islands VA<\/a> celebrated the opening of a new urgent care clinic inside the Daniel K. Akaka VA Clinic.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday we open the first urgent care for Veterans in the Pacific Islands,\u201d said Dr. Adam Robinson, director. \u201cAs we celebrate the structure, let\u2019s also remember that it isn\u2019t the building that makes the urgent care. It is the people. The dedication and caring of our staff, the work everyone does in service of those who have worn the cloth of our nation. That\u2019s what really makes this urgent care possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Veterans will still need to go to an emergency room for emergent health concerns, such as a heart attack, stroke, major cut or injury or broken bones. However, urgent care can help with a variety of problems that require same-day service, such as a urinary tract infection, minor cuts and abrasions, headaches, rashes, fevers, insect bites and other concerns that cannot wait for a primary care appointment. Urgent care is ideal when a Veteran has an urgent problem but it\u2019s not an emergency.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was no urgent care planned when the Daniel K. Akaka VA Clinic opened,\u201d said Clinic Chief April Seghorn (pictured above). \u201cI\u2019m very appreciative of everyone for their dedication and hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n

We also have a new urgent care telehealth option for Veterans in the Pacific Islands. The new Health Connect Clinical Contact Center will provide easy, on-demand services to Veterans.<\/p>\n
