Doctors and nurses saw their first patients Wednesday in the new, larger Petaluma Health Center on the city’s northeast side.
The clinic on North McDowell Boulevard underwent major reconstruction over the past year, transforming it from an office building to a state-of-the art medical facility, complete with an expanded dental clinic and a new “healthy living” area.
When all phases of renovation are complete, the 53,000-square-foot center will have exam rooms and staff to serve as a “medical home” for 35,000 southern Sonoma County and northern Marin County residents, many of whom have low and moderate incomes.
