City of Houston to celebrate the opening of its first combined Sunnyside Health and Multi-Service Center
|
|
Mayor Sylvester Turner will join the Houston Health Department, elected officials, and Sunnyside residents during an open house and mini-heath fair to mark the grand opening of the new state-of-the-art Sunnyside Health and Multi-Service Center.
The new Sunnyside Health and Multi-service Center is the first of its kind for the department with a large two-story indoor atrium connecting the health and multi-service areas.
A large auditorium, conference rooms, and classrooms will be available for use by community and non-profit organizations. The site will also include a fitness room, a quarter-mile walking trail, exercise equipment, a community garden, and benches.
The community and news media will get to tour the new facility, meet and greet staff members with partner agencies that will provide services, and learn more about the programs and services for area residents.
During the open house, representatives from various health department programs including Family Planning, Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) clinic, Harris County Area Agency on Aging (AAA) for seniors, and clinical services will answer questions about the services they provide.
