August 4,2014 (Campo)--Campo will soon have a new family medicine center.   A groundbreaking ceremony was held on July 26th for Mountain Health and Community Services’ new Campo Health Center.

Located at Buckman Springs Road and Highway 94, the state of the art facility will offer primary care, dentistry, radiology, optometry, behavioral health and pharmacy. 

July 26 marked a milestone event for the citizens of Campo, California with the ground breaking ceremony of the new Mountain Health and Community Services, Inc. Family Medicine Center located at 1033 Buckman Springs Road.

Hannah Elmasian, Dental Care Coordinator for Mountain Health, says the new center will change a lot of lives for the better, since many people in rural areas don’t have access to transportation, the Alpine Sun reports.  This includes elderly and disabled backcountry residents who may be physically unable to drive long distances to access healthcare, or can’t afford the gas.

Mountain Health & Community Services Inc. is a nonprofit that has served the rural border area in San Diego’s southeastern region for the past three decades. Its mission is to bring local health and social services to rural residents.  Once completed, the new, comprehensive medical center will be a major step toward fulfilling that goal.
