Westmoreland County VA Clinic(724) 216-0317Westmoreland County VA Clinic provides primary care services to U.S. military veterans and their families. It also supports those with more specialty care needs, such as survivors of domestic violence and sexual trauma. The facility includes a radiology department and offers podiatry and weight management services.

The families of senior care residents and third parties can register complaints with the ombudsman too.
