Local, state and federal officials cut the ribbon July 2 at Jordan Valley Community Health Center’s renovated facility at 440 E. Tampa St. The facility houses Jordan Valley’s medical facilities and is also the new home of Springfield-Greene County Women, Infants & Children program. The 40,000-square-foot space includes 50 exam rooms, which will replace the current medical clinic on Kearney Street in Springfield. During the last three years, Jordan Valley Community Health Center has served more than 35,000 local residents in southwest Missouri, including 11,550 children.
The first southwest Missouri location of EarthWise Pet, a national chain of pet supply stores, opened; Grey Oak Investments LLC relocated; and Hot Bowl by Everyday Thai LLC got its start.
