Progress on the CHC’s new facility is moving forward according to schedule. After the groundbreaking in May, foundation work commenced in June and framing of the two-story building began in July. As of November 1, the shell of the building is nearly complete, and work has begun on the mechanical and electrical systems. Our goal is to have the facility completed in the summer of 2023 and be moved in by September - in time for our Community Health Clinic’s tenth anniversary.
The main floor of the new building features an increased number of patient care rooms to meet the needs of a growing community. These rooms will be significantly larger, providing increased comfort for patient families with complex medical needs. The building will support and grow existing partnerships and new collaborations providing expanded services including sub-specialty clinics, such as hemophilia, neurology, cardiology, and others.
Our new clinic will have dedicated rooms for genetic counseling, dietary services for those with metabolic disorders, and spaces to host an increased number of patient-centered research studies. Our research focus is twofold: building enhanced understanding of the rare genetic disorders that affect our patient families, and leveraging that understanding to help develop new therapies and treatments. The facility will also have several meeting rooms to accommodate both small and larger groups. The walkout basement features a Community Room to host education events and disease-specific family gatherings. To date, we have not had those capabilities, having to borrow, or rent space to bring families together.
