The 56,498-Square-Foot Flagship Provides Comprehensive Services to Help Families Live Healthier Lives
YUBA CITY, Calif. – May 15, 2025 – Neenan Archistruction, a leading design-build firm and Ampla Health, a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), proudly announce the exponential growth and sweeping transformation of Ampla Health’s most comprehensive health center. At 56,498 square feet, the newly completed facility brings together advanced design, comprehensive care services and community-centered functionality to what is now Ampla Health’s flagship location.
This milestone marks the culmination of a collaborative project that began with a beam signing ceremony in August 2023 and began seeing patients in March 2025. The expansion will increase access to quality healthcare services, which will in turn reduce emergency room visits.
The project involved both a significant remodel of the former medical facility and a major expansion to consolidate services into one central hub. The new space delivers a full suite of services, including primary care, pediatrics, dental, eye care, behavioral health, pharmacy, acupuncture, chiropractic care, lab work and Xpress Care (immediate walk in appointments) all in a single, thoughtfully designed location. The facility houses 20 dental operatories, 37 pediatric exams, 54 medical exams (including multiple rooms for telemedicine and behavioral health) and four eye lanes.
“Ampla Health is a cornerstone of this community – they pave the road to health for patients who may not otherwise have access to comprehensive healthcare services,” said Bill Pigg, president of Neenan Archistruction. “It is an honor to support their work. From the materials to the flow of the space, every detail was intentional, and we’re thrilled that after seeing the finished product, they selected this facility as their new flagship location.”
The building is designed to streamline patient access while creating a welcoming, multi-faceted environment. The result is a modern, high-performance facility that provides both the scale and infrastructure to serve a growing and diverse community.
“This expansion was based on meeting the growing needs of the community,” said Ben Flores, President and CEO of Ampla Health. “Neenan designed the space to increase our capacity and ensure families can get all their health needs taken care of in just one location. With this expansion, we expect to see 1,000 patients per day.”
The new Yuba City facility marks a significant investment not only in health care delivery but in the built environment of the region. By uniting mission-driven care with forward thinking architecture, Ampla Health and Neenan Archistruction have delivered a resource that is designed to serve and evolve with the community for years to come.
