Veteran's community based outpatient clinics (CBOC) are medical centers that provide a variety of primary care services to eligible veterans.
Services available at a CBOC can include: routine physical examinations, immunizations, prescription of medications, on-site laboratory and x-ray services, women’s care, referral to specialists and/or the local VA hospital as appropriate, mental health, counseling, and group therapy.
