Shoreline Clinic Construction Work Running Right on Schedule

SHORELINE, Wash. - Jan. 16, 2014 - PRLog -- Construction of the International Health Community Health Services's Shorline clinic is at fever pitch with August opening date looming in.

Steel posts are raised, slabs poured and nails hammered as the dedicated crew work 8 or 9 hour days, rain or shine, to make sure construction is on schedule. Crew reports no major difficulties so far.

The x-storey facility will include 18 examination rooms, 2 special procedure rooms, 10 dental operatories, a pharmacy, laboratory, community hall, classrooms, exhibition gallery, and outdoor courtyard and garden. It's not uncommon to see curious passersby watch the construction activity with much interest as they note the progress. To them, the Shoreline clinic represents an affordable and trustworthy alternative to get health care services. They currently have to travel outside the city to get medical help.

The clinic, located at 16549 Aurora Ave. N. in North King County, will offer medical, dental, behavioral health, language interpretation, financial screening and insurance enrollment help to residents in Shoreline and the Puget Sound region.
