After relocating from Bank St earlier in the year, the new White Cross Whangarei has been officially opened by a past employee - Health Minister, Dr Jonathan Coleman.
Dr Coleman cut the ribbon at the centre yesterday and said it was a great addition to health care services in Whangarei.
"This is a great facility, I know that it's significantly expanded ... a full suite of services, as well as handling all the after hours care for Whangarei and the surrounding area."
About 40 staff and other members of the health sector in Northland gathered for the occasion.
The facility cost $5.6 million and is built on the 4350sq former Mitsubishi Motors site in Reyburn St.
