Progress is being made on the construction of the 50,000-square-foot El Rio Community Health Center.

The Cherrybell Campus, a $14.3 million clinic at 1230 S. Cherrybell Stravenue, is expected to include a laboratory, pharmacy, dental center and full radiology department. It is El Rio’s 14th clinic and will also be a teaching health center housing medical students.

El Rio employs about 1,200 workers and foresees adding more with the new clinic, which is expected to be ready for move-in by the end of the year.
