A New Home in the Northland

Swope Health-Northland, our newest location, held an open house and ribbon cutting on July 19, 2019.

Dozens of associates, supporters and community members participated and toured the newly remodeled 6,200 square-foot facility at 2906 N.W. Vivion Road in Riverside.

“This is a newly renovated building with all new equipment,” said Dr. Kenneth Thomas, Chief Medical Officer for Swope Health. “Not only does this give our patients a nice facility but it expands our capacity to care for more patients.”

The new facility will support two providers and has more exam rooms, as well as a larger dental office.

“This demonstrates how we invest in our patients, even if patients don’t have the ability to pay for our services,” Dr. Thomas said. “We think it’s important to invest in our communities and give all of our patients a high quality environment for healthcare. We’re committed to the highest quality of care possible for all of our patients.”

Dr. Thomas led the ribbon-cutting ceremony with shout-outs to Swope Health associates and Purdum Construction staff who worked on the project – Don Payne, Senior Project Manager; Mitch Welty, Superintendent; and Nicole Anderson, Project Manager.

Clinic Tours

Clinic associates proudly led members of the Northland community on tours of the new space. The facility features five dental exam chairs, five medical exam rooms, one medical procedure room, a large break room, shared offices on medical and dental sides, as well as three private provider offices.  The clinic has modern accents like galaxy images on the ceiling above dental chairs, wood plank-style flooring in some parts, with muted colors on the walls throughout.

Come check out the new Northland location. Clinic hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Our phone number for making appointments is still the same: 816-923-5800.
