The Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment (WCDPHE) proudly celebrated the official opening of its new Public Health Clinic with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, Aug. 15, at the Southeast Service Center, located at 2960 9th Street in Fort Lupton. The event marked a significant milestone in expanding access to health services into the southeastern part of the county.
The ceremony was attended by Weld County Commissioners, local dignitaries, WCDPHE staff, and members of the public. Key speakers included Commissioner Chair Kevin Ross, WCDPHE Director Jason Chessher, Clerk and Recorder Carly Koppes, and Fort Lupton Mayor Zo Hubbard.
“The demand for public health services is growing, and we are excited to be here and put our resources where they are needed,” said Chessher. “Vaccinations, preventative care, and cancer screenings are some of the services we will provide in this facility, and we will ensure the staffing to meet the demand.”
Following the ribbon-cutting, attendees were invited to tour the new clinic. Health department employees provided information on various county programs and offered free A1C pre-diabetes screening tests to visitors.
The Fort Lupton Public Health Services Clinic will be open every Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., offering a wide range of vaccines, including those required for school entry as well as optional immunizations recommended by healthcare professionals. With the school year starting, these services are in especially high demand.
