The completion of the new Amherst County Community Health Center is imminent, as reported by Johnson Health Center. This new health center in Madison Heights will offer primary care for adults and pediatrics, behavioral health services, dental care, a drive-thru pharmacy, and a wellness center with fitness equipment and a teaching kitchen. The construction of the health center began in 2023 with an anticipated opening date in early 2024.
Johnson Health Center’s CEO expressed their excitement about the nearing completion of the project and the job opportunities it will bring. Plans are to employ 13 to 20 new workers once the facility is operational. The organization looks forward to serving the community of Amherst County and promoting a healthier community by offering a range of essential healthcare services under one roof.
The groundbreaking for the site was held in 2023, marking an important milestone for healthcare accessibility in the area. Once operational, the Amherst County Community Health Center will contribute to promoting a healthier community by providing convenient and comprehensive options for individuals and families’ healthcare needs. The integrated approach to healthcare delivery aims to improve access to quality care for residents in the region.
