In 2021, Newport News City Council voted to exchange the existing PHC building for the former Stratford University building. This is a partnership between the city, Virginia Department of Health, and Riverside Health System. The new PHC is adjacent to I-64 and more centrally located to the Peninsula communities it serves in the Cities of Newport News, Poquoson and Williamsburg, and the Counties of James City County and York County.
