Five Rivers Health Centers plans to begin construction on its new, $33 million headquarters in September that will be a “one-stop shop” for patients. The organization will consolidate services from four locations into the new 85,000-squarefoot facility in the Edgemont neighborhood. This is a major investment in the heart of West Dayton where health services are desperately needed, said Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley. “The commission and I are very excited about this investment,” she said. This month, the Dayton City Commission approved a planned development for 4.4 acres at 721 Miami Chapel Road to support the construction of a new medical office building. Five Rivers Health Centers plans to construct a new three-story building on the vacant, former Whittier school site. The site is at the northwest corner of the intersection of Miami Chapel Road and Campbell Street. Five Rivers Health Centers, the ninth largest federally qualified health center in the state, will transition about 150 employees to the new center when it opens, likely in fall 2021, said Gina McFarlane-El, the organization’s CEO. The new headquarters will consolidate several different departments located across the Dayton area, including pediatrics, internal medicine, specialty care, women’s health, dental and administration. The center also will have a pharmacy, with a drive-thru, a lab and community meeting space. 1/2
