Resource	Contact	Service
Key Largo VA Clinic	(305) 451-0164	Open weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4.30 p.m., the Key Largo VA Clinic provides medical support to the city's U.S. military veterans, their spouses and dependents. The clinic's staff can help seniors with speech, balance and hearing issues, while its family doctors can help those who need primary care and its cardiologists are available for those with heart and circulation problems. There's also support for patients struggling with their mental health. Those who need care not provided at the clinic are referred to other facilities within the VA Miami Health Care network.
