Onvida Health is proud to announce in partnership with the Southern Arizona VA Health Care System (SAVAHCS) the construction of a brand new, state-of-the-art medical facility dedicated to serving the Yuma Veteran community.
Set to break ground in December 2025, the 30,000-square-foot, free-standing facility will be located on the Onvida Health Foothills Medical Campus (11351 S. Frontage Road), just off I-8, the new location will provide convenient access to medical appointments.
With an estimated completion in summer 2027, the project marks SAVAHCS and Onvida Health’s long-term investment in the health, dignity and well-being of Yuma Veterans.
“This partnership not only gives us the opportunity to care for those who protected our country, but it will expand services to care for the unique needs sometimes seen in our Veterans as a result of service,” said Dr. Robert Trenschel, President & CEO at Onvida Health. “Building this new facility with our partners in the VA is not only necessary, but also an honor.”
Designed in close collaboration with the SAVAHCS and Veteran user groups, this facility reflects a shared vision, and a deep understanding of how space supports healing and community.
“We are thrilled to announce the construction of our new Yuma VA clinic in partnership with Onvida Health,” said Maria Nguyen, SAVAHCS Interim CEO/Director. “This project is born out of our strong and ongoing academic affiliation with Onvida Health. This new state-of-the-art facility will significantly expand healthcare access for our Yuma Veterans. Together, we are committed to providing the highest quality care to the Yuma Veteran community.”
Services offered will include:
- Physical and Occupational Therapy
- Lab, Imaging
- Optometry
- Audiology
- Women’s Health
- Primary Care
This announcement is part of an ongoing collaboration between Onvida Health and the VA. Last year, Onvida Health and the VA announced a partnership with Onvida Health’s Family and Community Medicine Residency Program. The partnership gives medical residents time in the clinic caring for our Veterans and provides additional care to those who have served. Onvida is hopeful that the continued partnership with the VA keeps more providers in the Yuma community focused on care for our Veterans.
“We are grateful for the opportunity to serve those who have served our nation by bringing accessible healthcare services to the Yuma community,” says Dr. Trenschel. “This new facility represents our deep commitment to ensuring that Veterans receive the respect, support and medical attention they deserve.”
The current Yuma VA Clinic located at 3111 South 4th Ave. in the Big Curve Shopping Center has been providing comprehensive healthcare to Yuma Veterans since 2012.
