(Wheeler) – Formal groundbreaking for the new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy took place July 20, 2024 with a crowd of nearly 100 north coast residents celebrating the beginning of construction of the 16,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility.
Ground improvements on the 1.3 acres site owned by the Nehalem Bay Health District are scheduled to begin August 1 and construction is expected to take 13 months.
Special guests at the groundbreaking ceremony included Wheeler Mayor Clif Kemp, Oregon state senator Suzanne Weber, Tillamook County Commissioner Erin Skaar, Manzanita Mayor Kathryn Stock and field representatives with U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley and Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici.
New Facility Will Allow Expanded Services
The new Health Center will replace an existing community clinic that was built in the early 1980s and has become too small to accommodate more patients and offer new services. The new Health Center will triple the size of the existing facility, have 15 exam and treatment rooms, a dental suite, x-ray, an expanded pharmacy, behavioral health facilities and a community room with teaching kitchen.
Speakers at the groundbreaking, including Health District board president Marc C. Johnson and Health Center CEO Gail Nelson, stressed that the new facility is designed to serve the north coast community far into the future with expanded services and the ability to address the needs of more patients close to where they live.
The Health District is the owner/developer of the new Health Center. The local non-profit Nehalem Bay Health Center, as it does currently, will lease the new facility and employ health care staff.
Federal Grant Jump Started the Community Effort
Senator Merkley helped jump start the project in late 2022 when he secured a $3 million federal grant to help fund construction. Health District voters, by a nearly 70% margin, then approved a general obligation bond measure in May 2023 that provides additional funding for the Health Center, as well as addressing renovations at the Nehalem Valley Care Center, the region’s only skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility. The Health District’s three-part strategic plan also envisions development of workforce housing to help address the area’s serious housing shortage, including particularly housing for health care workers.
The Oregon Legislature with the strong endorsement of Senator Weber and Representative Cyrus Javadi approved a $2 million appropriation earlier this year that further supports the effort.
Strong Support from Foundations and Individuals
Johnson, the Health District board president, said the District is grateful for financial support committed to date from a variety of Oregon Foundations, individuals and businesses.
For example the Roundhouse Foundation, a central Oregon-based foundation that supports many projects in rural Oregon, provided a grant earmarked to support construction of the new pharmacy facility. Availability of pharmacy services in rural Oregon is an issue of particular importance to the foundation, which has backed strategies to preserve and enhance those services.
The Ford Family Foundation, another Oregon foundation that assists organizations in rural Oregon, has provided grant funding for construction.
The Samuel S. Johnson Foundation (the family foundation of former north coast state senator Betsy Johnson) donated to offset construction costs, and the Health District endorsed Senator Johnson’s suggestion that the Community Room in the new facility be named in honor of a long-time health care and community advocate. That room will be christened the Leila Newhouse Salmon Community Room. Mrs. Salmon, a former Health Center board member, attended the groundbreaking.
Another recent grant came to the Health District from the Sam Wheeler Fund administered by the Oregon Community Foundation. Wheeler was a giant in the Oregon forest products industry, and his grandfather was namesake to the community of Wheeler. The new Health Center and Pharmacy is being constructed on property once owned by the Wheeler Lumber Company.
The Manzanita branch of 1st Security Bank of Washington has also contributed financially to the Health District for its projects.
Grants and Fundraising Stretches Local Bond Dollars
Johnson emphasized that while significant financial resources from a variety of sources have been made available to the Health District an emphasis has been placed on careful stewardship of the community generated bond funding. “Every dollar we have raised – and will raise – is stretching those bond dollars even farther,” Johnson said.
The District and Health Center are continuing to pursue grant funding for construction and equipment, as well as for naming opportunities related to the new Health Center.
A new “donate” feature has also been added to the Health District website: www.nehalembayhd.org.
Scott Edwards Architects designed the new Health Center. Bremik Construction is serving as the construction manager and general contractor, while the Klosh Group is serving as the District’s owner’s representative.

“Joe Biden was discarded by the same billionaire class he assiduously served throughout his political career. Barely able to stumble his way through the words on a TelePrompter and not always cognizant of what is happening around him, his billionaire supporters pulled the plug. He was their creature – he has been in federal office for 47 years – from start to finish. He was used as a foil to defeat Bernie Sanders in the 2020 primaries and was anointed as the candidate in 2024 in a Soviet-style primary campaign. The billionaire class will now anoint someone else. Democratic Party voters are stage props in this political farce. Donald Trump, unlike Kamala Harris or any other apparatchik the billionaire class selects as a presidential candidate, has a genuine and committed base, however fascistic.
In Hitler and the Germans , the political philosopher Eric Vogelin dismisses the idea that Hitler — gifted in oratory and political opportunism but poorly educated and vulgar — mesmerized and seduced the German people. The Germans, he writes, supported Hitler and the “grotesque, marginal figures” surrounding him because he embodied the pathologies of a diseased society, one beset by economic collapse and hopelessness. Voegelin defines stupidity as a “loss of reality.” The loss of reality means a “stupid” person cannot “rightly orient his action in the world, in which he lives.” The demagogue, who is always an idiote , is not a freak or social mutation. The demagogue expresses the society’s zeitgeist. Biden and the Democratic Party are responsible for this zeitgeist.
They orchestrated the deindustrialization of the United States, ensuring that 30 million workers lost their jobs in mass layoffs. As I write in America, The Farewell Tour, this assault on the working class created a crisis that forced the ruling elites to devise a new political paradigm. Trumpeted by a compliant media, this paradigm shifted its focus from the common good to race, crime and law and order. Biden was at the epicenter of this paradigm shift. Those undergoing profound economic and political change were told that their suffering stemmed not from rampant militarism and corporate greed but from a threat to national integrity. The old consensus that buttressed New Deal programs and the welfare state was attacked as enabling criminal Black youth, “welfare queens” and other alleged social parasites. This opened the door to a faux populism, begun by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, which supposedly championed family values, traditional morality, individual autonomy, law and order, the Christian faith and the return to a mythical past, at least for white Americans. The Democratic Party, especially under Bill Clinton and Biden, became largely indistinguishable from the establishment Republican Party to which it is now allied.
The Democratic Party refuses to accept its responsibility for the capture of democratic institutions by a rapacious oligarchy, the grotesque social inequality, the cruelty of predatory corporations and an unchecked militarism. The Democrats will anoint another amoral politician, probably Harris, to use as a mask for outsized corporate greed, the folly of endless war, the facilitation of genocide and the assault on our most basic civil liberties. The Democrats, tools of Wall Street, gave us Trump, and the 74 million people who voted for him in 2020. They look set to give us Trump again. God help us.”
