In a big step towards enhancing community healthcare services, Promise Community Health Center broke ground for our $5.1 million expansion on August 10th.
The groundbreaking marked the start of our major expansion project. The expansion project will include the construction of a 10,000-square-foot, two-story addition to the existing facility. This new space will provide additional space for vision and mental health services, as well as a large conference room and a play therapy room. Promise will also be renovating the space that previously housed the vision and mental health into additional medical exam rooms.
A Vision of Growth
The expansion includes a two-story addition that will integrate with the existing health center. Covering 10,000 square feet, this expansion promises to accommodate critical services such as vision and mental health departments. The new space will also feature a spacious conference room. The area that once housed the vision and mental health departments will be transformed into much-needed medical examination rooms. This expansion underlines the health center’s commitment to offering top-notch medical care, ensuring that every individual receives the care they need.
