Services in the Simmons Building, the building adjacent to the Bullock Building include; Burbank Urgent Care, Lab, Radiology, and Physical Therapy Plus including sports medicine. The regional flagship in cancer care is located at the Simonds-Sinon Regional Cancer Center as well as the Simonds-Hurd Complementary Care Center.

Short Term plans moving forward with the space on campus include a relaxation garden and to build a community space to be utilized for educational and training programs focused on the health and wellness needs of the community.

“We look forward to the opportunity to continue collaborating with our community partners with projects regarding improving the health status of our region in the newly constructed community room,” said Weymouth.
