Great news for the East Side! University Health Wheatley is now OPEN! 🎉🎉🎉
The East Side community turned out in force to ‘say hello’ to the new University Health Wheatley at a ribbon-cutting and open house. It was a day to celebrate not just a building, but a new commitment to local patient care for those who live and work nearby.
As President and CEO Ed Banos noted, "Our mission meets people where they are." This new center makes that vision a reality. It conveniently connects residents to all the care and resources they need—from primary and urgent care to a full-service pharmacy and specialists—all integrated within the University Health system.
Guests enjoyed tours of the state-of-the-art facility, free flu shots and creating art with our incredible SaludArte: Art of Healing program, which features stunning work from local artists Reginald Adams, Sabra Booth, Kaldric Dow, Barbara Felix, Deborah Harris and Rhonda Radford. The 18th-century-inspired quill pen and paper quilting activities were a fun nod to the center's namesake, Phillis Wheatley, the first African American to publish a book of poetry.
Located at 3860 IH-10 East, Wheatley is a major milestone in our system-wide expansion. Share this post to help us spread the word about this high-quality medical care now available right here on the East Side! Services, including urgent care, pharmacy and primary care are open starting today. Learn more: https://ow.ly/zQ6K50Xf4AY.
