The Veterans Administration is planning to build a clinic in Iola sometime in the next few years, provided it can find a location.

The VA wants to open a new Community-Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) at Iola and close several smaller clinics in Fort Scott, Garnett and Chanute. 

The recommendation was made as part of a 10-year strategic plan announced in 2020.
