Valley-Wide Health Systems, Inc. has begun the early steps towards the goal of renovating a former bank building on Main Street in downtown Cañon City, converting it into a modern health care clinic, replacing its existing Fremont Family Medical Center, located near the hospital. Valley-Wide hopes to contribute to the new vibrancy and energy of the downtown area, coordinating its efforts with the local city revitalization that is already taking place. Valley-Wide is reviewing architectural services quotes at this time, and will pursue hiring local contractors and sub-contractors once the renovation work is begun.
Pictured in front of the bank building are Joe Aldrich and Heather Ellenbecker of Valley-Wide Health Systems, working on pre-design planning for the remodeling project.
The new clinic will expand the Fremont Family Medical Center’s current services to provide a completely integrated care model in one location, housing family medicine, dentistry and behavioral health services, as well as essential case management and care coordination services. Valley-Wide is now seeking funding to remodel the building, and it is anticipated that the project will be completed within two years.
