  WIELAND recently completed 3,300 SF of healthcare space for Cristo Rey. Owned by Catholic Charities of Ingham, Eaton, and Clinton Counties, Cristo Rey has become a beacon of hope for many in Lansing, providing equal access to quality healthcare for under-served populations. With its new location on Willow Street, the Cristo Rey Family Health Center is now expanding services to include dental care for low-income children and adults, disabled persons, and veterans.

  The renovation included additional office space and a fully equipped dental suite with multiple patient bays and laboratory rooms. The project broke ground in July 2024 and was recently completed in just four months.
