Healthcare Network hosts grand opening for Van Domelen Community Health Center

NAPLES, Fla. - May 7, 2026 - PRLog -- Healthcare Network hosted a grand opening celebration for its new Van Domelen Community Health Center, a $15 million medical complex that provides access to essential health services for 41,000 residents of eastern Collier County whose community has been described as a "healthcare desert."

Government officials and community leaders joined donors and staff on May 6 as Healthcare Network hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony and offered tours of the 20,000-square-foot facility. The state-of-the-art complex offers an array of services, including pediatric care, women's health services, family medicine, dental care and integrated behavioral health services for children and adults. It also offers a drive-thru pharmacy, laboratory services and X-ray services.

"This building was a collaboration of the entire community, from our state legislators and county commissioners to individual donors and organizational sponsors who all came together to recognize that this was a healthcare desert, and that changed today," said Jamie Ulmer, president and CEO of Healthcare Network.

Healthcare Network, a nonprofit organization working to ensure primary medical care is accessible to everyone in the community, operates medical offices and centers in underserved communities across Collier County. It also has mobile clinics that deliver essential health services to patients in hard-to-reach areas.

"Healthcare Network has been a partner to reach those communities that have unmet needs," said Julia Van Domelen, whose foundation provided the lead gift that established the new center. "Healthcare Network is truly part of a major healthcare initiative in Collier County. They can service people close to home and before they need critical care."
