Houston VA held a groundbreaking ceremony today for a brand-new 38,000 square-foot outpatient healthcare clinic in Rosenberg, located at 25175 Southwest Fwy. Rosenberg, TX
With our two existing Fort Bend County CBOCs, in Sugar Land and Richmond, both stretched to capacity and serving roughly 13,000 Veterans combined, the need for something new and larger is impossible to ignore. Today, that something new officially broke ground.
“Houston VA is one of the fastest-growing VAs in the country and we are at or near capacity in several of our outpatient clinics,” said Amir Farooqi, MEDVAMC’s executive director. “This new Rosenberg VA clinic is the latest step in a large expansion we have planned across southeast Texas; aimed at putting more VA care closer to where the Veterans who have earned it live.”
In practical terms, the new Rosenberg clinic will mean nearly 20,000 square feet of additional space beyond the current Richmond clinic, with room to hire more staff and offer more services, all under one roof. The clinic will provide primary care, mental health, radiology, audiology, optometry, orthopedics, sleep and pulmonary care, prosthetics, physical therapy, and a dedicated women’s health area.
As today’s groundbreaking ceremony ended, Mr. Farooqi looked out at the crowd, Veterans in caps and pins, local officials, construction crews, VA staff, and offered a promise on behalf of everyone who helped make the day possible. “When we turn the first shovel of dirt today, we are investing in the health, dignity, and future of Fort Bend County’s Veterans,” he said. “We look forward to the day we open these doors and say to every Veteran: welcome home, we’ve got you.”
Fort Bend County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas, and its Veteran population is growing right along with it. With this groundbreaking, the Houston VA planted its flag; not just in the soil of Rosenberg, but in a lasting promise to the men and women who call this place home. The new clinic is set to open in 2027. But the foundation has been laid, and for thousands of Veterans in southeast Texas, that is reason to celebrate.
