CHARLESTON, S.C. (Jan. 30, 2026) -Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) announced the Department of Veterans Affairs has officially selected a location for the new Community-Based Outpatient Clinic in Beaufort County, South Carolina, a project Rep. Mace secured authorization for $30,646,000 in funding through the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
The new facility will be located at 1844 Ribaut Road in the Town of Port Royal, strategically positioned near Parris Island and Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort to serve the 16,881 veterans who call Beaufort County home.
"We worked to authorize over $30 million for this clinic because our Lowcountry veterans deserve world-class care close to home," said Congresswoman Mace."Today's announcement means we're one step closer to delivering on this promise. The facility will be located right where our veterans need it, near Parris Island and MCAS Beaufort, ensuring the men and women who served our country can access the care they've earned without unnecessary travel or delays."
The $30.4 million authorization Rep. Mace championed through the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs will fund a modern outpatient facility providing primary care, mental health services, counseling, and critical VA programs. The clinic will also create construction and healthcare jobs, strengthening the Lowcountry's economy.
The Beaufort County Community-Based Outpatient Clinic is expected to open in 2028 and represents a significant step forward in expanding VA services, ensuring veterans across South Carolina's 1st District receive the best care possible.
