About the new Health Center and Pharmacy:

• The new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy is a project of the Nehalem Bay
Health District, an Oregon special district that has existed since the early 1950’s. The District also owns the Nehalem Valley Care Center, the old Wheeler hospital and the current clinic building on Rowe Street in Wheeler.
• The decision to develop a new Health Center was driven by space limitations in the current clinic, as well as limits on the number of patients who can be served and
services that can be provided.
• The new Health Center will have 15 exam and procedure rooms, a major upgrade from the existing facility, allowing space to accommodate specialty
services, including x-ray and dental.
