The Vancouver Clinic opens new facility
The Vancouver Clinic will celebrate the opening of a new facility with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 7:45 a.m. on Monday, November 1st.
The new 48,000-square-foot building will replace the clinic's present facility at 2005 West Main Street in Battle Ground. It will house the clinic's current practices in family medicine, pediatrics and urgent care. The building's additional space, a spokesperson for the clinic said, will allow for two new departments – internal medicine and obstetrics/gynecology.
"We are excited to open our new building in Battle Ground," said Dr. Sharon Crowell, chair of the clinic's board of directors. "This [new facility] allows us to offer expanded services to meet the medical needs of the growing Battle Ground community."
The Clark County Fire Department will burn down the old building on November 13th as part of a training exercise.

The job fair will be held on Thursday, November 4th from 9 a.m. to noon at Clark College's Gaiser Hall at 1933 Fort Vancouver Way in Vancouver.
"We have worked hard to recruit employers who have job openings and are eager to fill them with veterans," said Pam Brokaw, executive director of Partners in Careers.
A limited amount of space is available for employers interested in taking part.
