Lackawanna Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) is an extension of the VA Western New York Healthcare System, providing high-quality, accessible outpatient medical services to eligible veterans in the Buffalo region. Specializing in primary care and preventive medicine, the clinic is dedicated to addressing both the physical and mental health needs of veterans in a supportive and respectful environment. As part of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the clinic offers comprehensive healthcare grounded in veteran-centered care models, ensuring continuity of services close to home.

Unique to CBOCs is their community-based location, allowing veterans to receive treatment without traveling long distances to major VA medical centers. The Lackawanna CBOC not only serves as a crucial access point for primary care but also helps coordinate specialized services at the main VA hospital when necessary. The clinic emphasizes strong patient-provider relationships and personalized care plans. It also champions health outreach and educational programs aimed at promoting wellness among the veteran population.

As a proud contributor to the VA’s mission, the Lackawanna CBOC continues to foster health equity and dedicated service for those who have served the nation.
