The Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment will open a new community clinic in Fort Lupton, the agency announced Aug. 31.

The new clinic is being built along 9th St. The clinic will provide health care services for the residents in the southern part of the county.

"We recognize the importance of ensuring access to health care services for all our residents," said Public Health Services Director Shaun May. "By moving the clinic to the new building, we will be able to better serve the evolving needs of the southern part of the county by providing medical services closer to where they are needed most. We will allow the clinic to expand to meet the growing service demand."

The clinic at the new building will provide immunizations, preventive health screening, family planning, STD testing and treatment, and many more services.

The agency aims to complete the clinic in May 2024 and to start to provide services soon after.

While the new clinic is under construction, residents are being directed to the current Southwest Service Center building, 4209 County Road 24 ½, in Longmont. That clinic offers services on Wednesdays from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.
