b'Increasing Access: Newberg Wellness CenterOur Newberg expansion project will combine the existing Newberg medical and dental clinics into one expansive and integrated clinic. The Newberg Wellness Center builds upon our past success with wellness centers in Cornelius and Beaverton. By increasing the size of the building from 8,900 to 21,940 square feet, we will offer a broad range of services, improving access to integrated care for our existing 3,000 patients. The building also provides space to accommodate additional patients as the community and the demand for services grow.Patients helped select the exterior designa colorful modern lookand our architects designed the Wellness Center with environmental sustainability in mind. Rooftop solar panels will generate nearly all of the electricity for the building, among other sustainable features.It will also be the first of our wellness centers to fully integrate medical and dental staff into a shared team room, allowing them to efficiently coordinate patient care. Its going to be great for our staff (dental and medical) to feel more cohesive, said Guadalupe Sanchez, Clinical Team Supervisor at Newberg Clinic. Its a holistic approach. The more opportunities to put staff in the same room, the greater chance for them to share ideas and help patients overcome barriers they face.With the planning phase now behind us, we anticipate that construction will start in spring 2023, with completion in spring 2024. The clinic will remain open during construction, ensuring our patients continue to have access to health care. #WeAreVirginiaGarcia'
