The new Medical Center for Western University of Health Sciences is

new Center is located at 887 E. Second Street, just east of Towne Ave. in

Philip L. Shettle, President of the American Osteopathic Association, and
Dr. James Lally (COMP ’91), President of the Osteopathic Physicians and
Surgeons of California and president and chief medical officer of the
Chino Valley Medical Center Services.
Seeing over 10,000 patients per year the Medical Center has moved
from its Mission Blvd. location where it was opened in1984 in a building
that once housed the Hamilton Drug Store. Many of the patients do not
have medical insurance or cannot afford medical care.
The Medical Center offers ambulatory, primary health care
services to families in the Pomona area. Medical students for the
University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific serve in
rotations through the Center giving them opportunities to work with
patients.
