We’re breaking new ground for Cape Cod Veterans!

Last Friday, VA Providence celebrated the official groundbreaking of the new Bourne Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC). This modern, Veteran-centered facility will expand access to primary care, mental health services, specialty care, and telehealth—bringing more convenient, high-quality care closer to home for Veterans across the Cape.

We’re proud to take this next step in strengthening care for those who served.
