BEND, OR -- A major local care provider has broken ground on a new facility in Bend's south end. The formerly bare property at the corner of Badger Road and South Third Street in is undergoing a major change.
St. Charles Health System is working with developers Taylor Northwest and the Thomas family for the construction and long-term lease of an 18,500'-square building. The facility will house St. Charles Family Care and Immediate Care. Once open, the clinic will house nine family physicians as well as onsite laboratory, x-ray and rehabilitation services.
St. Charles officials point to growth in the south part of Bend and an unmet need for health care services for the expansion.
The property is being prepared for work now. Construction of the building is expected to begin this winter and will be complete by November 2016.
