their use.
The new Center will be more
than three times the size of the cur
rent clinic and the staff will nearly
double. The new facility will offer
expanded hours for both medical
and dental services. Waiting times
should be drastically reduced with

limited. The new clinic will contain
the latest diagnostic equipment.
Also to be considered by voters
on June 5 are 20 new rental homes
to be built adjacent to the Tenino
