Riverside University Health System (RUHS) and PMB broke ground on a project, The Wellness Village in Mead Valley, that will integrate behavioral health treatment with medical care and social services. 

PMB has slated the project for completion in 2026. The team for the project includes PMB as developer, Boulder Associates as architect, Snyder Langston as design-builder and PMB Real Estate Services as property manager. 

PMB, Snyder Langston and Boulder Associates have begun construction on the 18-acre campus. Construction and operation of the Wellness Village will create hundreds of permanent jobs and generate millions of dollars in taxes and spending. 

The Village will feature Riverside County's first mental health urgent care and crisis residential program for children under 13, to address a critical gap in healthcare service. The Wellness Village will provide a complete range of services that address every level of recovery, including urgent behavioral health treatment, supportive housing and residential and outpatient care.
