Happy Holidays from Legacy Community Health Services!

The Holidays are here and we wanted to wish everyone the Happiest of Holidays. We're taking a short break for the Holidays but will be back posting updates in a few days.

Here's some recent photos:


Below you'll see the future entrance to the ground-level parking garage.

Yikes! Not a job for those with a fear of heights.

Monday, December 20

We've seen the first-floor parking garage of the future building completed, then the 2nd, the 3rd and now we see the 4th floor of the new building is under construction. The steel frame of the building is visible for several blocks in any direction from the construction site.

Every steel piece is carefully fitted by a welder. If you drive past the site and see a welder DO NOT look at the light of their torch, you could seriously damage your eyes.

Taking Shape

The floors are rising fast at the construction site as workers assemble the steel together. It's really exciting to see the building finally taking shape.

Steel Beams for Hopes and Dreams

Just as strong bones protect the heart, these steel beams will protect the heart of Legacy.


Already two stories high, the building is beginning to take shape.


The majestic oak tree lends itself as a reflection of Legacy's continual growth and deep roots within the community.


Sun roof...but not for long.


Beams of steel that lead to beams of hope.

Building blocks

Enormous steel beams arrived at the construction site today. The beams are so large and heavy that to move them requires the use of the crane that arrived the day before.


The pictures posted yesterday showed an the incomplete crane. Today both parts of the arm are attached, the longer part (the boom) and the shorter section from which the hook hangs (the jib). Workers hook cables around steel beams on a truck, give the crane operator a signal, and the beam is hoisted high and around the trees to be placed where other workers can install them.






Soon this pile of steel will be the skeleton for the new building.

The Crane Arrives

Today the construction site recieved a special delivery, the enormous crane that will assemble the steel frame of the new building.



After assembling the crane, workers lifted its long arm. It's is almost as long as the length of the 1415 property!

What a treat, it's concrete!

The concrete has been laid at the site of Legacy's new clinic in Montrose. Yet another step closer towards building a better and bigger Legacy.
