The Andrew K. Baker Department of Veterans Affairs Clinic is the new name for a VA clinic in Clay County. He was a veteran killed in helicopter crash.
Yoho and county leaders wanted the new clinic named after a local military member. Tina Baker was among those who submitted names for a public vote and, of five finalists, her husband got the most votes. Yoho's successor, U.S. Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Gainesville, continued the renaming effort that had to be passed by Congress and"Today was a momentous day," Cammack said of the Tuesday renaming ceremony.
Cammack's district no longer includes Clay County, which is now represented in the House by U.S. Rep. Aaron Bean, R- Fernandina Beach. But she said she still supported its veterans. Wende Dottor, interim executive Health System director, said the VA was honored to acknowledge the life and service of Baker by renaming the county's clinic after one of its hometown heroes.
