EPHRATA — Moses Lake Community Health Center officials expect to open the clinic’s new dental office in Ephrata by Nov. 3.

Community Health officials announced earlier this yea that they purchased and will be remodeling a building at 457 First Ave. NW into a new dental clinic. The work will begin in June, according to a MLCHC press release.

“We will increase our dental operatories to seven. We will also relocate our WIC services to this new location,” wrote MLCHC CEO Sheila Berschauer. “We’re very optimistic about where we’re headed as an organization and our future in the Ephrata community.”

The current facility, 204 12th Ave. SW, will remain in operation with the same hours until the new clinic opens, wrote Stephanie Melcher, MLCHC marketing and communications manager.
