Montcomery CAVHCS campus expanding

The Montgomery campus of the Central Alabama Veterans Health Care System is expanding.

Glen E. Struchtemeyer, CAVHCS director, told a group of veterans about the expansion earlier this month, as reported by the Advertiser. He was speaking at a meeting of Rep. Mike Rogers' (R-Saks) veterans advisory council on March 31.

He told the veterans that an architecture firm had been hired to begin work on an expansion.

Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange has scheduled his weekly press briefing to be held at the Montgomery campus on Friday to release more details about the new, 112,000 square foot, leased outpatient clinic in Montgomery.

The facility will use the "medical home" model the Army has adopted. It brings more medical staff and services to one location so patients don't have to go to different offices for different services, Struchtemeyer said.

The clinic at Fort Rucker is expanding, and the Tuskegee facility also is expanding and working to offer more services, including those for homeless veterans.
