SG Blocks Inc., a developer, designer and fabricator of modular structures, said it is currently in the discovery and research phase with Teamsters Union 848, the local Teamsters union in Long Beach, California, for a point-of-care COVID-19 testing module as well as an overarching wellness center for union members.
The goal of the project will be to increase diagnostic and general medical and wellness services for the union members. Eric Tate, principal officer and secretary-treasurer of Teamsters Local 848, currently sits on the board of SGB Development Corp.
“We greatly respect the values of the Teamsters, who have worked tirelessly with team SG to find a way to improve health outcomes and lives for Local 848 members and their families,” Paul Galvin, chairman and CEO of SG Blocks explained. “We really see a fit here with our modular capabilities to deliver the Teamsters something efficiently, cost-effectively and sustainably.”
“We’re excited to work with SG Blocks to give our members the opportunity for point-of-care diagnostic testing, as well as a wellness center,” Eric Tate, principal officer of Teamsters Local 848 noted. “I’ve always been passionate about representing our members and providing them with services wherever I can, because these are hardworking people who deserve it. SG Blocks understands that.”
