news release

Treasure Coast Community Health (TCCH) is proud to announce the grand opening of its new West Health Center, expanding access to comprehensive healthcare for patients across Indian River County. The community is invited to an Open House and Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony on Wednesday, October 8 from 4:30 – 5:30 p.m., 8505 20th Street, Vero Beach.

The new facility was built to meet growing demand for primary medical, pediatric, dental, mental health, and pharmacy services, ensuring families and seniors can receive coordinated care close to home. The West Health Center features separate waiting areas for adults and children.

Construction of the West Health Center was made possible through the generous support of longtime TCCH friends Walter and Lalita Janke, and with financing provided by the Florida Community Loan Fund through the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Program, with investment from U.S. Bancorp Community Development Corporation.

“Walter and Lalita Janke have been a part of the TCCH family for many years. Their constant and steadfast support has enabled us to meet the growing needs of our shared community, and truly provide healthcare to all,” said Lauretta Farrell, TCCH Chief Development Officer. “This commitment is critical to ensuring that everyone who needs care in Indian River County can access it close to home. We look forward to celebrating their leadership and generosity at our Ribbon-Cutting ceremony.”

Since 1993, TCCH has provided high-quality, affordable healthcare to all residents of Indian River County, regardless of income or insurance status. The new West Health Center continues this mission, offering care that is personal, convenient, and accessible for every patient.
