Valley-Wide to Host La Junta Clinic Grand Opening

Valley-Wide to Host La Junta Clinic Grand Opening 

Valley-Wide will hold the grand opening of its newest clinic in La Junta, Colo., on Jan. 30, 2013. Since 1997, Valley-Wide leased space for the La Junta Clinic from the Arkansas Valley Regional Medical Center. Shortly after settling in the Arkansas Valley, Valley-Wide saw the demand and need for a long-term primary-care facility, and purchased land close to its existing site to serve as the future home for the La Junta Clinic. Valley-Wide was awarded Affordable Care Act Capital Development grants, enabling the organization to construct a new building capable of meeting growing needs.

Valley-Wide completed construction of its new facility in December 2012. The building increases capacity and strengthens clinic operations. The contemporary design and expanded space improves privacy compliance, workflow efficency, work environment safety and satisfaction, and it better accommodates Valley-Wide’s new electronic health record system. The larger space also allows for increased provider recruitment and retention, which is challenging in rural areas and important in the provision of patient centered care across the continuum of health care services.

The opening is scheduled for Jan. 30, 2013, from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at 1012 Belmont Avenue, La Junta. Congratulations!
