Local health provider opens new office in Somerton

SOMERTON, Ariz. (KYMA) - A local health provider opens a new place to bring services to the community.

Regional Center for Border Health opened an office on Main Street in Somerton. The goal is to provide social services for south county residents all in one place.

"Bringing the resources to the community rather than the people travel to outside the city and the community to get those services. Maybe the transportation is limited or maybe the family doesn't have a ride to go to yuma so this the closest we can get to the families that we are serving," said Amanda Aguirre, CEO of Regional Center for Border Health.

First Things First was the first agency to bring their services to the community at this new location.
