Sequence Health’s new medical call center building is set to open in November or December.

Local officials will celebrate the opening of a sprawling, new 15,000-square-foot facility new call center and medical consultation facility with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday.

Georgia-based company Sequence Health will employ up to 128 jobs in the next five years at its location in Industrial Park III. At 1:30 p.m., local dignitaries will meet to recognize the new company which employs nurses and customer service representatives to assist the doctors’ offices and medical facilities.

City officials have said the company will work closely with the School of Nursing at Wallace State Community College to fill many of the new positions. Sequence Health employees have been working out of a temporary accommodation at Wallace State, which offered to incubate the company while its new building was under construction.

The project got help with a federal $300,000 Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) grant plus a $100,000 Community Development Block Grant (CBDG) through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and administered by the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA).

The city committed $50,000 toward the project.

“It’s always great to have financial help and support from the state in our efforts to create jobs in Cullman,” said Cullman Mayor Woody Jacobs. “Partnerships like this with the state are important as we work to strengthen opportunities in our economy.”
