Harry Teague to Host Roundtable on Los Lunas Community Health Center PDF Print

Isleta, NM – On Friday, October 22nd, Harry Teague will join representatives from First Choice Community Health Center and city, county and community leaders for a roundtable event to discuss the development of a new health care facility in Los Lunas. The new health center, which will provide primary medical, dental and behavioral health services to Valencia County, was awarded a grant by the Health Resources and Services Administration last week.

 

The roundtable will focus on the plan for the project, the timeline, and the impact that it will have on the community and the local economy. Harry Teague will also tour the project site and receive a briefing on the design layout and renderings.

 

Due to space limitations, the event is not open to the public but interested media are invited to attend.

 

The $8 million grant, allocated through the Health Resources and Services Administration, will go towards the construction of the new facility. In addition to primary care, the facility will offer the community a new regional primary dental practice with 10 operatories, behavioral health services and extended hours. The funding for the project, applied for through a Capitol Development Grant, will create nearly 50 jobs in the construction phase, with additional full-time staff positions being created once the health center is opened.
