Building a Healthier Community 

The Center for Health Education, on the campus of Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital in Newport, is a regional hub for health-related activities that help people prevent disease and manage chronic conditions to improve quality of life and lower health care costs.

The two-story, 12,000-square-foot building includes a community resource center, meeting rooms for support groups and health-related classes, skills and computer labs for health care professionals as well as a teaching kitchen.

Through our monthly class offerings (below), as well as many other services, we help you live a more healthy life. If you have questions, please send us an email.

Built in 2015, the center was funded through the Pacific Communities Health District and donations to the Pacific Communities Health District Foundation. Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital staffs and equips the facility.
