Columbia Valley Medical Group Opens Second Outpatient Suite

Health officials in Vancouver say the move is meant to keep pace with a fast-growing population and rising demand for local care.

"This is something our community has been asking for, and we're glad to finally see it come together," said Daniel Nguyen, hospital administrator in Vancouver.

The expansion is expected to add roughly 35 new positions, including clinical and support staff, and comes as regional population growth pushes demand for care to record levels.

"We're proud of what this means for Vancouver and the people who live here." — Daniel Nguyen

Patients are encouraged to check with their provider directly for scheduling as the new services come online.
