This lease will support the Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) and Integrated Mental Health models, which will help address current patient privacy standard concerns as well as provide adequately sized exam rooms that meet current VA space criteria. IOT&A services for warehousing and activation support are under another contract. The purpose of this contract is to support the activation of new CBOC.
