Riverside University Health System (RUHS) and PMB joined local leaders to celebrate the topping-out on an unprecedented project, The Wellness Village in Mead Valley, that will transform healthcare by integrating behavioral health treatment with medical care and social services.
A tradition in major construction projects and infrastructure works, the topping-out ceremony commemorates the tremendous efforts of both construction professionals and the entire project team. The ceremony included the placing of an evergreen tree and a U.S. flag upon the structure. The pinnacle of the topping out ceremony took place when the final piece of steel, signed by all project team members, was hoisted into place and secured by the ironworkers. Construction work on The Wellness Village in Mead Valley is scheduled to be completed in 2026.
“This project is a testament to the strength of collaboration,” says Ben Rosenfeld, PMB’s Partner | EVP of Development and Lead Developer on the Project. “Together with our partners in this public-private partnership, we have achieved this integral step in the process. Furthermore, we are thrilled that we are on schedule for the topping-out of The Wellness Village in Mead Valley that will serve as a model for integrated behavioral healthcare delivery across California. This unprecedented project combines medical care, behavioral health, and social services into a single environment.”
When completed, the Village will feature Riverside County’s first mental health urgent care and crisis residential program for children under 13, to address a critical gap in healthcare service. The Wellness Village will provide a complete range of services that address every level of recovery, including urgent behavioral health treatment, supportive housing and residential and outpatient care. The campus will also feature primary and specialty medical care, dental services, substance use disorder treatment, and a pharmacy open to the public.
