At yesterday’s city commission meeting, commissioners approved two loans from the Pampa Economic Development Corporation (PEDC) for Dr. Mark Ford’s revamped New Life Wellness Center, formerly Ford Family Chiropractic.

The loans, amounting to $188,900, will go towards developing senior fitness services and additions that include an aqua therapy pool, physical therapy equipment and treatment tables. The loans will also go towards remodeling the current facilities.

Ford recently added pain management services to the New Life Wellness Center, as well as family care and urgent care. He plans to hire 10 new employees as part of the center’s expansion.
