About the Program
The Primary Care Service Line offers an extensive range of treatment modalities with emphasis on healthcare prevention. Our Primary Care physicians are internationally recognized for breakthrough research in a number of primary care areas. Because veterans seek primary care from a wide geographic area, we have created primary care at Community-based Outpatient Clinics (CBOC) in Flint and Jackson, Michigan and Toledo, Ohio. (see CBOC web pages) .
