ā€œThis location is in the heart of the Central District and allows us to continue caring for our patients and families in the neighborhood, as we have for over 50 years,ā€ Bell added.

The new site will be open in 2024.

ā€œFall Homecomingā€ is a chance for families to hear from OBCC and Seattle Children’s Hospital staff about the mental health and behavioral health services, social services, psychosocial services, violence and injury prevention support, addiction-related resources and primary medical care that will be offered at the location.Ā 

There’s also a lot of fun and engaging activities planned for kids, including pumpkin painting, DIY slime-making, food, giveaways. The event takes place October 28 from 12 to 2 p.m. at 1711 S. Jackson St., Seattle.
