The state-of-the-art facility will house medical professionals in one location, offering clinic space and office space for various services.
“What this wellness center is going to provide is an opportunity for clients to come in to one new place, state of the art where all these medical professionals are housed and so there’s going to be great clinic space, office space,” said Jennifer Brezee, DHS Director of Developmental Disabilities Services.
The new center will allow clients to receive medical treatment and care closer to home, reducing travel time for appointments.
“It’s really important so that our residents aren’t having to travel as far and go way off campus to see their doctors and see their specialists and speech therapies, and they are able to stay close to home,” Brezee said.
The facility will be one of the top centers in the state and will provide all needed services under one roof.
