The new Charlotte VA Health Care Center, a $104 million, five-story brick-and-glass building in Charlotte, N.C., was designed to offer veterans one-stop shopping for care, according to an article on The Charlotte Observer website.
“I really like the way it’s set up, with everything in one building,” said Randy Harvell, 69, a Vietnam vet from Bessemer City. Harvell said he often gets healthcare at the W.G. (Bill) Hefner VA Medical Center in Salisbury, where he has to walk or drive from one building to another.
The entrance, filled with natural light, will have multiple kiosks where veterans can check in electronically. The first floor will have radiology services, a kidney dialysis unit, a pharmacy and a food court. The fifth floor will house same-day surgery, and the middle floors will house clinics for primary care, dentistry, optometry, audiology, dermatology and mental health.
The Charlotte facility will offer same-day appointments with primary care doctors and to allow patients to make appointments with specialists before they leave the clinic instead of making them wait for callbacks.
