ALBUQUERQUE'S NORTH VALLEY IS GETTING A NEW OUTPATIENT CLINIC. IT'S BEING BUILT BY U-N-M HOSPITAL. KORI BEECH IS THE INTERIM ADMINISTRATOR FOR AMBULATORY SERVICES AT UNMH. SHE TELLS US THE NORTH VALLEY IS AN UNDERSERVED AREA AND THIS CLINIC WILL HELP FILL THAT VOID.
THE CLINIC IS PART OF AN ONGOING EFFORT BY THE HOSPITAL TO REACH IN TO ALBUQUERQUE'S VARIOUS AREAS. BEECH SAYS THE NEXT PROJECT IS AT EUBANK AND MENAUL.
THE CLINIC ON 4TH STREET WILL BE LOCATED ON THE FORMER SITE OF LARRY'S DRIVE IN THAT WAS IN BUSINESS FROM 1962 TO 2003. THE CLINIC IS SCHEDULED TO OPEN NEXT APRIL.
