Alisal Health Center reopens after months‑long renovation; clinic serves about 3,500 patients monthly
Summary
County health officials said the renovated Alisal Health Center (13,000 sq ft) reopened June 5 after six months of renovation; staff relocated during construction and the clinic serves about 3,500 patients per month.
Chris Leventon, operations manager for the County of Monterey Health Department, described the Alisal Health Center renovation as a multi‑phase, staff‑coordinated effort that required emptying the building and relocating staff and clinicians to maintain services during construction.
Leventon said the clinic is a 13,000‑square‑foot facility on the second floor that was emptied from January through June for floor replacement and other improvements; the renovation took about six months and the remodeled facility reopened on June 5. He said about 70 staff members were relocated during the work, including approximately eight physicians, and that the clinic typically sees about "3,500 patients a month." Leventon described the finished space as more comfortable and hospitable and said staff and patients are providing positive feedback.
Leventon noted the building is privately owned and that renovations required coordination with the owner and careful scheduling to protect patient confidentiality; the county offered to arrange media tours on staff‑meeting days.
