Darland marked the official groundbreaking of Council Bluffs' newest medical office building-CHI Health Valley View. The new, 38,844-square-foot clinic will feature 56 exam rooms and focus on primary care with specialties including: radiology, ultrasound, pharmacy, behavioral health and physical therapy. 

"This new clinic site is part of our commitment to leading the changes in health care that need to occur," CHI Health CEO Cliff Robertson told the crowd gathered to celebrate the groundbreaking. The new clinic is part of the organization's ongoing mission to provide affordable, accessible, high-quality care for all. "Keep people healthy and out of hospitals. That's our ultimate goal," he said.

The project, which is slated for completion in spring 2019, is through a partnership between CHI Health and Denver-based NexCore Group, a national health care real estate developer.
