The state-of-the-art facility offers unprecedented access for Southern Highlands residents to health care, all in one place.
The team of general practitioners vary in age and interests but all work hard to put your health first.
They are supported by practice nurses with extensive experience and receptionists who have a great desire to look after patients and their needs.
Moss Vale Medical Centre caters for those who wish to improve their lifestyle.
It offers physiotherapy, osteopathy and gives patients access to an exercise physiologist, dietician and psychologist.
Practice owner Dr Vincent Roche said a "complete approach" was taken in the planning stages.
"We thought it was important that our patient's health needs are catered for in one location," Mr Roche said.
"This makes it easier to work together and deliver a complete approach.
"The new building has allowed this to happen and gives our patients a modern, spacious environment.
"We are really proud of what everyone has achieved".
The building of the new Moss Vale Medical Centre started in 2012 and the Department of Health contributed some funding towards the project.
Practice manager Helen Portus said everyone worked hard to secure the funding.
"Now that the building has been completed it makes the long hours worth it, and our patients are certainly enjoying the new, brighter surroundings," Ms Portus said.
The centre is an accredited teaching practice of the Royal Australian College of General Practice and the University of Wollongong and actively assists in the education and development of medical students.
It will be officially opened by local MP Stephen Jones at 11am tomorrow.
Celebrations kick off at 10am with a free sausage sizzle, coffee, animal petting farm and face painting. The official ceremony will commence at 11am with RSL Rural Commemorative Youth Choir and Mr Stephen Jones MP.
