To 2022 · SOUTH BEND, THEN MISHAWAKA (BOUNDARY — THE OSCEOLA SHARE IS USE, NOT SEAT)
The VA's course in this county is a course of moves, each dated. The clinic began in a 7,000-square-foot building on South Ironwood Drive in South Bend, south of the U.S. 20 bypass. In May 2012 it moved to Western Avenue in downtown South Bend — the former Gates Toyota showroom at Western and William, across from Four Winds Field, an 18,000-square-foot facility the South Bend Redevelopment Commission had bought and renovated for $3.3 million in January 2012; the move was understood at the time as temporary. The permanent build followed: the VA approved a new 71,000-square-foot outpatient centre at Fir Road and Trinity Place in Mishawaka, on Cressy Land Investments land near Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center, to be built by Ambrose Property Group under a VA lease at a $38 million construction cost, with completion announced for spring 2018; Congress's own later finding dates the completed clinic's construction to 2017 — both dates print as their sources give them (construction completed 2017; opening/lease course announced to spring 2018).
The current facility, named and dated: the St. Joseph County VA Health Care Center at 1540 Trinity Place, Mishawaka, a VA Northern Indiana Health Care System facility, designated by Public Law 117-179 (approved 30 September 2022) as the “Jackie Walorski VA Clinic.” No VA facility has ever been seated in Osceola; Osceola veterans' federal care runs across the line to Mishawaka, and that sentence — use, not seat — is the town's whole share of the federal hand.
