Healthcare Network hosts grand opening for Van Domelen Community Health Center

NAPLES, Fla. - EntSun -- Healthcare Network hosted a grand opening celebration for its new Van Domelen Community Health Center, a $15 million medical complex that provides access to essential health services for 41,000 residents of eastern Collier County whose community has been described as a "healthcare desert."

Government officials and community leaders joined donors and staff on May 6 as Healthcare Network hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony and offered tours of the 20,000-square-foot facility. The state-of-the-art complex offers an array of services, including pediatric care, women's health services, family medicine, dental care and integrated behavioral health services for children and adults. It also offers a drive-thru pharmacy, laboratory services and X-ray services.

"This building was a collaboration of the entire community, from our state legislators and county commissioners to individual donors and organizational sponsors who all came together to recognize that this was a healthcare desert, and that changed today," said Jamie Ulmer, president and CEO of Healthcare Network.
