SAN BERNARDINO, Calif., March 7, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SAC Health, a health center that serves Medi-Cal and Medicare patients, held a groundbreaking ceremony for its future five-story campus in San Bernardino. The SAC Health-Brier Campus is expected to open in the Summer of 2025.
The future SAC Health campus sits on a 14.5-acre site that totals over 280,000 square feet and is currently undergoing major renovations to convert the space for medical use. While planning continues to determine the services that will be offered at the future location, it is expected to provide family medicine, pediatrics, behavioral health, dentistry, community resource services and other medical specialties to underserved populations in the region, including Medi-Cal and Medicare patients. Brier Campus will be the 12th SAC Health location when it opens.
The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by SAC Health administration, board members, community partners, and staff—along with building partners Gafcon, BNB Builders and Perkins & Will. Greetings and well wishes were shared by Marcopolo Anzora from the Office of Congressman Pete Aguilar and Helen Tran, Mayor of San Bernardino. Attendees were given a sneak-peek of the building progress with tours of the construction.
"Our region continues to face the challenge of a growing patient base with diverse needs," notes Jason Lohr, MD, CEO of SAC Health. "Expanding our locations will allow SAC Health to care for the increasing patient population who are also the most vulnerable and underserved,"
