The ribbon cutting will be followed by an open house and self-guided tours. Beverages, food and entertainment will be provided. The evening will culminate with a presentation of community awards and a keynote address by Carlos Olivares, the Farm Workers Clinic’s executive director.
The Northeast Community Center (NECC) is a neighborhood-based, nonprofit organization founded in 1980 by Northeast Spokane residents. NECC is nationally and locally recognized for developing partnerships with neighborhoods, local businesses and industries.
The Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic provides comprehensive medical, dental and social services in several Pacific Northwest communities. The Riverstone clinic joins a sister clinic in the city, Spokane Falls Family Clinic.
The Spokane District Dental Society Foundation is a non-profit organization that promotes improved oral health and increased opportunities for delivery of dental care by collaboration with existing organizations and community programs.
The IDEA Clinic, which shares space with Riverstone’s dental clinic, is staffed by volunteer dentists coordinated by the dental society’s foundation. There are six dental operatories, including an oral surgery suite used by volunteer dentists.
