Great Lakes Bay Health Centers (GLBHC) has officially opened its new Old Town center at 700 Court Street in Saginaw, offering a spacious new hub for a variety of heath services in one convenient location.
Staff and community members celebrated with a Ribbon Cutting ceremony on Oct. 27, attended by local and state officials, neighbors and chamber leaders. Congressman Dan Kildee and U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow each spoke during the ceremony. The new building was constructed by Shaheen Development to provide 30,000 square feet of space dedicated to health services for anyone seeking care, regardless of their insurance coverage.
“I am proud to be part of a company where moms and dads can trust they have a good doctor and good support system,” said Arnesha West, patient and WIC breastfeeding peer counselor who spoke at the event. “It’s all about making families feel like family. We want to make all moms and dads feel welcome.”
Family medicine and OB-GYN service providers began seeing full schedules of patients Nov. 1. Women, Infant and Children (WIC) nutrition program and breastfeeding support, Maternal Infant Health Program, and Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health care also are joining. Eye Care, Physical Therapy and Pharmacy will join this winter.
If you didn’t get to visit the new center yet, please plan to join us for an evening Together Event tour at 5:30 pm on Nov. 15 or on Dec. 1.
