New health clinic coming to Spruce Pine
The clinic will offer mental health and pharmacy services, and will serve as Mountain Community Health Partnership’s headquarters
Mountain Community Health Partnership (MCHP) is building a new health clinic and main office. The new site will be in Grassy Creek in Mitchell County. The new 20,000-square-foot center will be the culmination of years of planning. Also, it will allow MCHP to significantly expand the health care services they can offer to local residents.

What is WithersRavenel’s role in the health clinic project?
WithersRavenel is serving as the site/civil engineer for this project. We provided a range of due diligence services for the site. The due diligence phase began with a Phase I ESA from our environmental professionals. They also provided wetland and stream delineation and USACE jurisdictional determination services. A wetland survey ensued, accompanied by a topographical survey and boundary recombination survey. Other services include a preliminary floodplain review, conceptual site layout, preliminary engineering, permitting, and hydrant testing.
How is this project being funded?
State funding, along with help from Dogwood Health Trust and the Thomas Phillips family, secured the land. It also provided the funding needed for the development project. MCHP currently operates five health care facility sites in Mitchell and Yancey counties.
When will the new health clinic be open?
Groundbreaking occurred in July of 2025, with opening of the new facility and offices expected in September 2026.
