La Pine Community Health Center Remobilizes Construction on Wellness Center

‍PRESS RELEASE

La Pine, Oregon—La Pine Community Health Center (LCHC) is pleased to announce that construction will resume on the highly anticipated Wellness Center. While the facility was originally projected to open in early 2025, work came to a halt in March due to unforeseen funding-related issues that have since been amicably resolved.

Once completed, the Wellness Center will provide expanded dental services, diagnostic imaging, and enhanced mental and behavioral health care for the community.

“We’re thrilled to resume construction and take this next step in expanding access to high-quality, comprehensive care in La Pine,” said Erin Trapp, Chief Executive Officer of LCHC. “The Wellness Center represents our commitment to this community and ensuring that every individual has access to the services they deserve and need to thrive.”

"We are excited to continue our partnership with La Pine Community Health,” said Todd Predmore, Senior Vice President-Account Manager for Skanska USA Building in Portland. “The Health and Wellness Center is a testament to our shared commitment to enhancing access to healthcare services. We look forward to advancing construction and delivering a facility that will make a meaningful difference in the health and well-being of La Pine residents for years to come."

Community members and organizations interested in supporting the project are encouraged to contact Courtney Ignazzitto, Marketing & Communications Coordinator, at (541)876-2135 or visit www.lapinehealth.org/wellnesscenter to learn how to get involved.
