There seems to be a buzz in the air these days as the news broke about the possibility of a VA clinic coming to town
The Albert Lea Tribune ran this story
Albert Lea is in the running for VA outpatient clinic
The Albert Lea City Council voiced its unanimous support Monday to have a Veterans Affairs outpatient clinic come to the city.
The Department of Veterans Affairs has announced it plans to open two new community-based outpatient clinics in Minnesota, one of which is planned for the south central portion of the state. Albert Lea is one of the locations in the running.
Albert Lea City Manager Victoria Simonsen said because of the city’s location along Interstate 35 and Interstate 90 — in that it would provide easy access for people in both southern Minnesota and northern Iowa — city staff are supportive of the outpatient clinic coming to Freeborn County.
The city support comes after Freeborn County commissioners voiced their support for the outpatient clinic at their most recent board meeting..... here is a link to story click here

UP - To the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Albert Lea would be a great place for a VA outpatient clinic. Not only is our city at the crossroads of I-35 and I-90, it has great support for veterans from strong veterans organizations. And our city has well-supported medical and senior communities and nice places to get exercise. Pick Albert Lea.

We agree Albert Lea would be a great place for a new VA outpatient clinic. This would be a win win for everyone. This would be a desperately need boost to the local economy.
Good Luck Albert Lea I sent my e-mail in support to Rep. Walz I would like to ask everyone to do the same.
