Ribbon Cutting for New Brainerd VA Clinic

A ribbon cutting was held this morning for the new Brainerd Veterans Affairs Clinic located in the old roller skating rink next to the civic center.

Life-long Brainerd resident Bill Wroolie (Rule-ee), past national commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, was the Master of Ceremonies. He tells KLKS News the clinic will have expanded laboratory services, primary home care services and expanded mental health care services.

Wroolie says they ran out of space at the old state hospital building. He says the new facility is better, because all services are offered on one floor.
