Here are three things to know.

1. The ASC will include new exam rooms, an outpatient surgery suite and a women’s health clinic, allowing approximately 400 additional outpatients to visit the medical center per day.

2. The new clinic is the result of a first-of-its-kind partnership between the Department of Veterans Affairs and Heritage Services, an Omaha nonprofit group.

3. The VA is contributing $56 million that was it set aside for a new hospital in 2011. Plans for a new hospital fell through due to large cost overruns on other VA construction projects.
