WHEELING — Wheeling Health Right is moving forward with a $300,000 plan to expand and add services.
“We are working with a mechanical engineer, an architect, and an electrical engineer,” said Executive Director Kathie Brown. “We’re hoping to get bids out soon. We’re wanting to break ground by October.”
She remains optimistic the project will proceed quickly once it begins, and she hopes work will be done early in 2022.
Wheeling Health Right has plans to construct a drive-up pharmacy, and also add more space for dental operations and storage at the clinic, located at 61 29th St. in South Wheeling.
The current conference room at Wheeling Health Right will be turned into a second dental operatory area, and an additional storage room for needed personal protective equipment also will be placed there.
The project then includes the construction of a new conference room, as well as a drive in pharmacy. The drive-in option will provide patients the options of picking up prescriptions without having to come inside.
Pediatrics care for children age 4 and under could be coming in the future, according to Brown.
“There’s only one addition. The rest of the project is renovations in the current conference room,” she said. We will start the renovations once we get the addition under roof.”
Health Right is currently encouraging all members of the public who believe they have signs of COVID delta variant to come get tested there.
“There is always the possibility of the delta, and one way to know if the delta variant is present in the area is for the public to come get tested,” Brown said.
Health Right also continues to do COVID vaccinations, either by appointment or by walk-in, she said.
“We still have a lot of people coming in,” Brown said. “There are appointments every day, and we still have people who walk in.”
She said there were a lot of people who couldn’t go to the vaccination clinic at The Highlands, or didn’t want to travel there.
“Based on their own timing or preference, they are still deciding if they want it and we are still giving it out,” Brown said.
