Mobile VA Clinic Comes to Quartzsite, Connects Veterans to Benefits

The Department of Veterans Affairs will hold a veterans services event at VFW Post 769, 305 N. Central Blvd in Quartzsite, on Tuesday January 6, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mountain Time. The free event will allow local veterans to learn about VA programs and services, speak directly with VA staff, and enroll for veteran benefits. A Mobile Medical Clinic will be on site to provide medical appointments and services for eligible veterans.

Bringing VA staff and a mobile clinic to Quartzsite addresses a persistent challenge in La Paz County where long travel times and limited local health infrastructure can keep veterans from accessing necessary care. Locally available enrollment help can shorten the time it takes to begin receiving benefits and reduce the logistical and financial strain of traveling to distant VA centers.

The event is hosted at a community based site, the VFW Post 769, which can make the experience more accessible and familiar for veterans and their families. The presence of a mobile medical unit also offers immediate public health benefits by creating a touch point for preventative care and for connecting veterans to ongoing health services. For veterans with mobility, transportation, or scheduling constraints, this kind of outreach can be the difference between receiving care and going without it.

Event organizers encourage veterans to contact Joshua Wear at 928-458-8713 or Andrew Taylor at 928-237-8310 for more information about eligibility, available services, or to arrange an appointment time. Local health advocates and veterans service organizations may also use the event to coordinate follow up for those who require continuity of care or assistance navigating benefits and referrals.

This outreach reflects broader efforts to bring federal health resources into rural communities, and underscores a policy challenge for La Paz County and similar areas. Ensuring equitable access to health care and benefits will require continued investment in mobile services, local partnerships, and targeted outreach so that veterans receive timely care and the benefits they earned.
