A ground-breaking ceremony was held on October 7, 2008 for the new healthcare facility that will be the future home of DDC Clinic. The 10,800 square foot building is two and one half miles north of its current location and a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) approved green building. The new facility will have four exam rooms along with therapy and dental rooms, a learning center and larger state of the art research lab.

Co-Chairman of the DDC Clinic “Solving Medical Mysteries” Campaign, Chuck Fowler, said in his speech, “Truly a jewel in Geauga County – this small clinic has impacted not only our community’s families – butDDC Clinic - Dr. Wang and Connor Teare also children around the world through the impact our research has had, and we’ve only just begun!”

Connor Teare, an 11 year old patient of the clinic was confined to a wheelchair when he was first seen by Dr. Heng Wang at DDC Clinic. Today, Connor is a vibrant child and due to the efforts of a collaboration between DDC Clinic and physicians at the Cleveland Clinic, he walked to Dr. Wang's side during the ground-breaking celebration.

Mary Ellen Troyer, mother of a special needs child, DDC Clinic - Mary Ellen Troyerbrought the crowd to tears as she spoke about her daughter and her daughter’s passing eight years ago. It was just this year that Dr. Heng Wang and Dr. Baozhong Xin of DDC Clinic discovered the un-named disorder that her daughter had. Mrs. Troyer is pleased that that the clinic has discovered this disorder and that this discovery can help other families not only in her community but around the world.

DDC Clinic is in the middle of the “Solving Medical Mysteries” Campaign to raise $3.5 million to fund the research and operations of the new healthcare facility. The clinic has raised more than $1.6 million toward their goal to date. Naming rights are available to donors at the new facility.
