“Out of an abundance of concern for the safety and wellbeing of our staff and our community, we have no choice but to close Pennock Health & Wellness Center to help reduce the chances of transmission of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 and we will reopen as soon as Spectrum Health medical and health experts advise us that it is safe to do so,” said Dean Ford, wellness Center supervisor. “We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Based on the advice of health experts and medical professionals, we want to do our part to minimize social contact and assist with social distancing. The staff at the Wellness Center encourage everyone to remain active in some way to support their physical and mental well-being during this time.”
