$44.5M Round Rock Veterans Affairs outpatient clinic breaks ground
City, county, state and federal officials broke ground on a $44.5 million Veterans Affairs outpatient clinic in Round Rock on June 18.
As reported by Community Impact in June, Veterans Affairs data shows that Williamson County is home to nearly 40,000 veterans. Despite a growing population, the only Austin-area VA health care clinics are located in Cedar Park and southeast Austin, limiting nearby care options for area veterans.
To help close this gap, the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System is building a $44.5 million VA outpatient clinic in Round Rock. The 63,808-square-foot facility is expected to open in 2027 and provide primary and preventative care, mental health support, and other specialty services.
