Corewell Health South will hold a ceremony next week to mark the beginning of construction on its expansion of the Center for Better Health and Wellness in Benton Harbor. The center is moving from its current 1,200 square foot facility to a 26,000 square foot building, and the new location will provide increased access to health care and social needs for the community. The Center for Better Health was opened in October 2020 as a temporary health care center after a $1.2 million grant was awarded to Spectrum Health Lakeland by the Michigan Coronavirus Task Force on Racial Disparities. It’s been such a success the decision was made to make it permanent and to expand it. The future home of the expanded Center for Better Health and Wellness is 145 Main Street. The celebration with guest speakers will be next Tuesday.
