Coming Soon: A New Salem Family Health Center at El Centro

04.16.2025

North Shore Community Health (NSCH) is thrilled to share that we are in the final stages of the pre-development phase for our new Salem Family Health Center, which will be located at El Centro, a transformative campus development in Salem’s Point Neighborhood.

El Centro is a visionary, mixed-use project designed to enhance community health, access, and resilience. The site currently houses North Shore Bank, commercial offices, a community room, a public park, and part of the Salem riverwalk.

This initiative is mission-driven, connecting public healthaffordable housingclimate preparedness, and community engagement. As part of this project, NSCH is seeking a Chapter 91 special permit, required under Massachusetts law for building along the South River, to ensure continued public access to the waterfront.
