With 153 hospitals and more than 750 outpatient clinics the VA has the largest health care system in the country and this year they're expecting more than 60-million outpatient visits.

The five current out patient primary care clinics are in Mena, Hot Springs, El Dorado, Pine Bluff and Mountain Home.
