Lindstrom Vet Express Update
We’re excited to share that as of March 30, the Vet Express clinic at the PFC Floyd K. Lindstrom CBOC is now open five days a week, Mon-Fri, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

If you haven’t used Vet Express before, it’s a walk‑in clinic offering same‑day visits for Veterans experiencing new, minor symptoms. It’s a great option if you need quick care while waiting for your regular appointment. No appointment needed — just stop by, now Monday through Friday.
Please note:
• Vet Express is not for life‑threatening emergencies.
• The clinic cannot provide same‑day imaging results.

For urgent or serious health concerns, please visit the nearest Emergency Department or call 911.
The Vet Express clinic is located on the second floor of the Lindstrom CBOC in Colorado Springs. Visit our website for more information- https://www.va.gov/eastern-colorado-health-care/programs/veterans-express-care/
