will also be providing some additional specialty services like physical therapy. We’re excited to have this new clinic to help Veterans achieve new and improved levels of health and

well-being. They earned and deserve these benefits; we are pleased to be able to provide them with excellent health care services.” The Aleda E. Lutz VAMC in Saginaw, Michigan operates an
