Press Release
Construction for the new building that will house First Call Home Health, Infocus Counseling and First Call Pain Management began on July 20th. Members of the community attended the ground breaking on Cascadia Industrial Street SE off Fairview Industrial Drive SE.
The new facility will have features such as:
- Community training center (60 person capacity)
- Community book store
- Two therapy rooms designed specifically for child therapy
- Office space for expansion of First Call, Infocus and Pain Management
The businesses have outgrown the offices currently occupied at Union Street NE. Over the past 10 years First Call Home Health has grown from a small home health agency to one of the largest home health agencies in Marion and Polk counties, adding an outpatient mental health clinic and pain management clinic to its services.
“It’s all about providing a great place for staff to work and providing the best health care to our community. Our new building is an investment in the community. I believe in developing and supporting local business,” said Owner Sheryl Mullin.
“Our company has been blessed with great people. It is through their efforts that we have been successful,” said Administrator Jacob Mullin.
Rich Duncan Construction will build the 14,000 square-foot, two-story facility. The project will take about six months to complete. The businesses were able to qualify for an SBA loan and build the new building for a very competitive price. The construction project will cost $1.7 million, not including the land and owner’s equipment.
Continuing their community-minded emphasis, the companies will offer free trainings on issues that include:
- Mental health issues
- Nutrition
- Spiritual issues
- Numerous other topics
The expanded building space will allow First Call Home Health to expand its home health services and hire more office and clinical staff as its census continues to grow.
Infocus Counseling can increase from four counselors to seven and add two state-of-the-art play therapy rooms.
First Call Pain Management, a new service, will house facilities for up to 6 pain management therapists.
