A new health center has opened on Erie's west side.

Allegheny Health Network (AHN) cut the ribbon on a new occupational health center located in the Yorktown Center on W. 12th St. 

The new center, which is managed by AHN Saint Vincent, specializes in treatment for worker-related injuries and medical screening.

The new space will allow better access to occupational health care on the city's west side, as well as better parking, according to AHN Saint Vincent officials.
