In case you missed them, here are some of the top stories from the week:
Tenants have wasted no time moving into the Rediviva, the first apartment building to be completed in The Waterfront Vancouver development.
The building opened less than a week ago and crews continue to install finishing touches in the amenity areas. But residents have already moved into five units and more are arriving daily. The building’s 63 units are 35 percent leased, according to Jim Edwards, Gramor Development’s waterfront project director.
Dr. Leslie Cagle and Dr. Paul Dally have worked together so long that they’ve been confused for a married couple.
One time, at a work conference, while practicing surgery techniques on a pig, the two surgeons were asked by the person overseeing them: “So how long have you guys been married?” Zero years is the answer to that question, but Cagle and Dally have worked together for 29 total years.
“It’s your work family,” Cagle said.
A California-based developer has submitted a preliminary plan for a new seven-story apartment building at The Waterfront Vancouver.
The proposed building would include 239 residential units and would be located on Block 20, which is near the western end of the development area. It would be bordered by Vancouver Waterfront Park to the south and Columbia Way to the north.
Clark County Public Health is investigating a possible case of acute flaccid myelitis in a Clark County child.
The child is younger than 6, and was hospitalized after a sudden onset of paralysis in one arm, according to a Public Health news release. The child displayed symptoms of respiratory illness and fever before developing the AFM symptoms.
“AFM is a rare condition that affects the nervous system, specifically the spinal cord,” the news release states. “Symptoms typically include sudden weakness in one or more arms or legs, along with loss of muscle tone and decreased or absent reflexes. Symptoms can vary in severity and range from mild weakness of a limb to absence of movement in all limbs.”
Vancouver-based PeaceHealth announced Tuesday it acquired Portland-based ZOOM+Care, which provides on-demand retail and digital care through the internet and neighborhood clinics.
PeaceHealth and Zoom declined to disclose any details of the sale. The acquisition is expected to close Dec. 31. Zoom has 37 clinics in Oregon and Washington. There are two clinics in Vancouver and about 25 in Portland. The other locations are in Salem, Ore., and the Seattle area.
