HAILEY HILL | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 4 weeks, 1 day AGO
COEUR d'ALENE — Medical, dental, pediatric, behavioral health, substance use treatment, psychiatry, pharmacy services and workforce training services through Heritage Health will soon come together under one roof.
Hayden Chamber of Commerce ambassadors joined Heritage Health team members Thursday at the Heritage Health Center for Healthy Living to celebrate the official groundbreaking of the $4 million “phase two” expansion project at 3700 W. Seltice Way.
The Chamber called the project "a win for our region and the people who call it home" in a statement shared on Friday.
Phase two is anticipated to be completed by the latter half of 2026 and will serve to further Heritage Health's commitment to preventative health through physical fitness and healthy lifestyle choices, CEO Mike Baker previously told the Press.
"Huge shoutout to Heritage Health for continuing to invest in healthier living for our community," the statement from the Hayden Chamber read in part.
