A bit of Cornerstone's History:
We started transforming a then chiropractic office into what is now called the Cornerstone Medical Clinic on October 31,2009. With the timely expertise of Carasella Homes [Thank you Dan and Diana]{ Edgewood, Washington} , the ever supportive and talented architect Rolando Aquilizan { Portland,Ore.} , friends and family, Cornerstone has found its beautiful home at 1420 Main Street in the quaint town of Sumner in the valley overlooking the mighty and proud Mt. Rainier
We had hoped to create a special space built around the " patient experience" - the certerpiece of everything that we do. From knowing where patients would sit, to widening of hallways and doors for easy maneuvering of wheelchair borne patients and gurneys , neutral and soothing colors , modern natural touches , use of salvageable materials and a non-clinical atmosphere and ample parking ; we know that we have accomplished our goal basing from the comments we hear from you ..."serene", "welcoming", "beautiful", "homey","nice" "tranquil","clean"" nice people""up to date" "spa-like"."peaceful" " no long waits".etc.
We hope that you have found your place at Cornerstone where your most sensitive health needs are being met.And more importantly, this space was created as a tribute and out of respect to you- who put us where we are now.
It's all about you!
