Golden Valley Health Center Groundbreaking
Golden Valley Health Centers break ground for new clinic
GVHC celebrated with members of the community, local politicians, and business leaders at the ground breaking ceremony for their new Northview Clinic, designed by TETER.
The new clinic, located in Merced, will serve patients in three counties. Tony Weber, CEO of GVHC, spoke of the positive economic impact and access to quality primary health care for low income families that the new clinic will bring to the area:
“20% of the population (150,000 individuals) in the tri-county area are patients of Golden Valley Health Centers. Once Northview Clinic is completed, we will employ hundreds of people.”
Erin Sanchez, TETER Architect of Record and Project Manager for GVHC’s new building, was thrilled to be part of this momentous event and plays a crucial role in its design.
“It was a proud moment for everyone involved. To be a part of a project that benefits the community and leaves a lasting positive impression. Although TETER will have been involved with this project for only two years (design to construction), the community will enjoy its benefits and services for decades to come.”
