YAKIMA, Wash. -- The Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic has purchased 3.39 acres near the new medical college in Terrace Heights with an eye toward building a new clinic in the next several years.

“We decided to purchase at this time because the Temple family offered us a very good price on it,” said Glenn Cassidy, spokesman for Farm Workers. The clinic paid $750,000 for the land.

Cassidy said Farm Workers may build a pediatric dental clinic or a women’s health clinic on the site. Pediatric dentistry has been a growing field. Farm Workers operates the University of Washington residency program in pediatric dentistry out of its Lincoln Avenue location in Yakima.

In 2005, the Temple family — owners of Columbia Basin railroad — donated 19.6 acres of land in Terrace Heights valued at $7.2 million for Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences. Its first college, the College of Osteopathic Medicine, is in its second academic year.
