ROCKFORD When the pandemic hit, Crusader Community Health debated postponing the opening of its new facility. But on Monday the health center hosted its ribbon-cutting ceremony as it originally planned.
Located at 1200 W. State St., the new 48,000-square-foot facility opened Monday and will provide medical, dental and behavioral health care services to its current and future patients.
The new facility will replace the 92-year-old former school it had occupied on the property where it started 47 years ago.
The $16 million facility began construction in October 2019 and continued throughout the pandemic after Crusader Community Health President and CEO Samuel Miller and other administrators opted not to halt the project.
ROCKFORD Three new free drive-thru COVID-19 testing sites are available in Rockford in an effort to improve access across the city.
In partnership with the Muslim Association of Greater Rockford and Islamic Circle of North America, O Hare Clinical Lab Services of Chicago opened the three testing facilities last week to ensure residents are served with fast and free COVID-19 testing results within 48 hours.
Insurance isn’t required and all are welcome, regardless of immigration status, said community organizer Mustafa Abdall.
He said he saw the need when one of the city’s two drive-thru COVID-19 testing sites closed in December. The site on Rockton Avenue, which was operated by Crusader Community Health, closed before Christmas.
