Wood River Health recently completed an extensive renovation of their Hope Valley facility, which included adding a new wing to their existing building that now houses their administrative offices, a physical therapy suite, two new medical exam rooms, expansion of their behavioral health counseling, a permanent space for the only WIC program in Washington County, new community space to expand their vibrant programming, and adding on to their dental suite. The $6M expansion began in 2021 and the Champlin Foundation has provided support over the years. President and CEO Alison Croke says, “Wood River Health has always had a positive reputation and role in our community. With this expansion, we have increased our exposure and are seen as a trusted and innovative partner to address the medical, behavioral, and dental needs of our community, as well as addressing the social determinants of health. Given the current health care workforce shortages, it is even more important for organizations like Wood River Health to grow and thrive.” Designated as a Federally Qualified Health Center and an LGBTQ+ Safe Zone, Wood River Health provides care to over 10,000 patients each year and anticipates that number to grow substantially with this new addition.
