McDonald III, Senator Neil Breslin & Congressman Paul Tonko attend, but also health agencies, fellow colleagues, and members of the community joined together to celebrate the new facility. “We are thrilled by the warm welcome we have received in Watervliet and look forward to being an integral part of this community,” says President & CEO David Shippee during the press conference. Watervliet Mayor Mike Manning adds, “Every single member of our community deserves access to quality healthcare, and by opening the doors to this Health Center, we have taken a step forward in making that a reality.
