| The Gig Harbor Medical Park, built by MultiCare Health System, will open its doors on Monday, June 11, with an open house scheduled for Sunday, June 10. The open house will include tours, live music, refreshments, children’s activities and give-aways. The entertainment lineup includes steel drum band Caribbean Vision, juggler Linda Severt, the Gig Harbor Symphony Orchestra Quartet and Gig Harbor High School’s highly acclaimed choir the Meistersingers.
The open house will be from noon to 4 p.m. The new facility is located at 4545 Point Fosdick Drive.
The Gig Harbor Medical Park will provide various services that are new to Gig Harbor, including a medical spa and a children’s urgent care. It will also include a sleep center, a day surgery center, an urgent care clinic, an oncology unit and various primary and specialty care offices.
“Advances in health care technology have lead to fewer hospitalizations, opening the door for more of these types of larger, community-based outpatient centers,” says Administrator Charlene Godec, RN, a Gig Harbor resident. “The new MultiCare Gig Harbor Medical Park will merge high-tech, innovative healthcare with high-touch complimentary therapies in a single outpatient setting.”
The center will also include services provided by the YMCA, such as on-site day care for patients, a fitness room and exercise classes. The collaboration is part of a partnership the two organizations created about two years ago. As part of the partnership, MultiCare will have a 2,600-square-foot wellness center in the Gig Harbor Family YMCA, which is schedule to open in August in Gig Harbor North. |
