West Augustine breaks ground on Health and Wellness Center on Sept. 13

West Augustine is hosting a groundbreaking ceremony Sept. 13 at 10 a.m. at the site of its future Health and Wellness Center.

Located on almost 1.23 acres on West King Street, the 14,000-square-foot center will include 2,000 square feet of outdoor patio space and on-site parking. The fully funded $8 million project β€” $5 million from county grants, $3 million from state grants, $500,000 in-kind and $500,000 in private funding β€” is expected to be completed by Oct. 2025.

Spearheaded by Greg White, founder and president of the West Augustine Historical Community Development Corp., the center will provide a comprehensive continuum of health care for West Augustine’s most vulnerable residents, regardless of their ability to pay. The center will also help redirect emergency room visits for local residents while offering resources for health and financial education.
