West Cobb VA Clinic closed until further notice, facility under repair after flooding

MARIETTA, Ga. — The Department of Veterans Affairs says the clinic on Midway Road in Marietta will be temporarily closed until further notice due to flooding in the facility.

The flooding was first reported to the VA on July 15 by the West Cobb VA Clinic’s property owner. The facility operates in a leased space.

A spokeswoman for the VA told Channel 2 Action News repairs were supposed to be completed on Monday, but now there is no specific timeline for when repairs will be finished.

“The lessor is working to repair and resolve all damage and will advise VA leadership when the property will be returned to patient care,” the VA said in a statement.

In the meantime, the West Cobb VA Clinic will remain closed.
