CONGRESSWOMAN JUDY CHU OPENS SAN 
GABRIEL VALLEY COMMUNITY BASED OUTPATIENT 
VETERANS HEALTH CLINIC

 The dedication of the VA San Gabriel Valley Community Based Outpatient Clinic 
at 7 W. Foothill Blvd., Arcadia occurred on August 22, 2019. The facility will serve the 
45,000+ Veterans in the San Gabriel Valley. This has been a 7 year effort of hard work 
and never giving up by Congresswoman Chu. 

 With the support of her constituents including members of Sierra 
Madre's VFW 3208, Chu made the hopes and dream of thousands 
of San Gabriel Valley Veterans come true. 

 Chu has always been concerned about our men and women of 
the armed forces who have sacrificed so much and yet have been 
over looked. A few years ago, she was aghast that a Korean Veteran 
had NEVER received his medals, so she held a special ceremony 
in her Pasadena office, had the Medals mounted in a frame, and 
also presented him with a folded American Flag in the triangular 
glass case.

The clinic hours are from 8 a,m, to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday. 
Appointments can be made by calling 1-877-251-7295.
