SALEM, OR — Once construction is completed and the dust settles, East Salem Clinic will unveil a new community-focused classroom space designed to assist a wide range of individuals. The clinic’s expansion aims to serve as a hub for support groups, literacy programs, and citizenship classes, offering critical resources to local residents.
The new space will cater to several groups in need of support, including soon-to-be parents, individuals in recovery from addiction, and those preparing for the U.S. citizenship test. The clinic’s leadership believes this initiative will enhance the clinic’s role in the community, furthering its mission to provide holistic care and support.
“By creating this classroom space, we’re not just providing medical care, but helping our patients and neighbors build stronger, healthier lives,” said clinic spokesperson Maria Hernandez. “The support groups and educational programs will offer a welcoming environment where individuals can connect, learn, and grow.”
Support groups for expectant parents will offer guidance and encouragement as they prepare for the challenges and joys of parenthood. Those recovering from addiction will find a safe, empathetic environment to continue their journey toward sobriety, while literacy and citizenship classes will empower non-native speakers and residents seeking to deepen their understanding of American culture and gain citizenship.
This expansion is the result of careful planning and collaboration with community leaders and local organizations that recognize the value of accessible educational resources. The clinic hopes that the new services will help bridge gaps in healthcare and education, fostering a more informed and cohesive community.
Construction is expected to be completed by late summer, with the classroom space opening soon after. The clinic will offer information about program schedules and enrollment in the coming weeks. For now, local residents are encouraged to stay tuned for updates on how they can get involved or benefit from these new services.
The East Salem Clinic has long been a trusted resource for medical care in the area. With the addition of this classroom space, it continues its commitment to supporting the health and well-being of the community in diverse and meaningful ways.
