b'Breaking GroundNewberg Wellness CenterAugust 10 marked a milestone for the Newberg expansion project as donors, staff, community members and partners gathered for the groundbreaking for the Newberg Wellness Center. This also marked the next exciting phase of the project.The Wellness Center will reflect the vision of patients, staff and the community for an integrated health care center, expanding access to an array of services, including primary and dental care, behavioral health, pharmacy, and wellness space. With the construction now ongoing, a grand opening is anticipated by the end of 2024.Virginia Garcia is committed to the continuation of health care services during construction with a staggered construction plan. While one area is under construction, another area remains open for patient services. This requires a more complex building plan, and it affects construction costs. However, ensuring ongoing access to high quality care for Newberg patients is critical.One of the most exciting aspects of the Newberg Wellness Center will be the sustainable building features, such as an advanced air filtration system, green walls, and solar roof panels to cover nearly all the clinics electrical use. When completed, this will be the greenest clinic at VirginiaWe are Garcia. inspired by We are at more than 85 percent of our fundraising goal, with the generous outpouring of support from over 300 individuals, foundations,the spirit of corporations, and public funders, Foundation Executive Directorcommunity.Stefanny Caballero said.
