“It's a wonderful day for Riviera Beach,” Riviera Beach mayor Ronnie Felder said. “We took a piece of prime property to let FoundCare have, and we value our residents that much that we didn't let the monetary game determine our decisions for what our business needed”

A 2.5-acre plot of land on Broadway donated by the city will be transformed into a 20,000-square-foot health center offering a variety of services including adult and pediatric care, women’s health, dentistry, and behavioral health.

“This project is really needed in the city of Riviera Beach. The life expectancy in the zip codes that we're going to be serving is 69 versus 82 in the rest of the county. So, for us, this is something that's direly needed,” FoundCare’s CEO Christopher Irizarry said.
