El Paso Commissioners Court approved a plan by University Medical Center of El Paso (UMC) to move its Eastside Neighborhood Health Center from its current location on Montwood Drive to the intersection of George Dieter and Pellicano. The new location is nearly five times larger and is part of the Dieter Marketplace shopping center. The new Eastside Health Center will mean expanded services. In addition to providing physician services, the larger center will feature a UMC pharmacy, a laboratory and imaging facility. It will open this fall after contractors finish converting it from retail space to an outpatient medical facility.
