The Veterans Affairs campus in Leavenworth is a fitting home to a Central Plains Consolidated Patient Account Center.
This is according to Sen. Pat Roberts, who spoke at a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new CPAC.
“The Dwight D. Eisenhower Veterans Affairs Medical Center campus offers a unique blend of historic and modern qualities,” Roberts said.
He said the historic buildings on the campus illustrate Leavenworth’s deep ties to serving veterans. And present-day facilities continue the mission.
Roberts said the Leavenworth area is rich in military history.
The Central Plains CPAC is providing traditional hospital revenue functions for all VA treatment locations within its region. It’s one of seven regional CPACs.
Gary Baker, chief business officer for VA’s health administration, said proposals for locations within the VA were solicited for the Central Plains CPAC.
“And Leavenworth submitted a very worthwhile proposal,” he said.
Baker said he’s attended ribbon cutting ceremonies for other CPACs. He said the support from the community for the Central Plains CPAC is greater than what he’s seen at other locations.
The Central Plains CPAC is located in a building that’s been renovated. Baker said it’s a state-of-the-art facility.
Renovation of the 66,054 square-foot facility was completed in May, and staff started moving in June 6, according to CPAC spokeswoman Shayne Sewell.
“This marks the official opening of our center here at Leavenworth,” David Isaacks, director of the Central Plains CPAC, said at the start of Wednesday’s ceremony.
Gary Million, deputy network director for the VA, also remarked on the location of the CPAC.
“This is a beautiful historic area,” he said.
The Eisenhower VA Medical Center dates back to 1884 and originally was called the Western Branch of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers.
Roberts also noted that the CPAC is expected to bring 400 jobs to the community. He said the area has a capable workforce.
“We have folks that can do the job,” he said.
