The new facility on the site of the old Burger King on Burnside is a state-of-the-art health-care building.
The VIP reception of funders and people actively engaged in the rapid pace completion of the building was followed by an open house for the entire community. The building will enable CCC to more fully integrate physical and behavioral health-care for its 4,000 plus clients who receive care at the Old Town Clinic and the Old Town Recovery Center.
