Chicago Family Health Center cuts ribbon on new facility
Chicago Family Health Center’s South Chicago facility is officially complete. Members of the community joined CFHC in celebrating the opening of the South Chicago facility at a ribbon-cutting ceremony August 28.
The ribbon cutting marks the completion of the second phase of construction, which included the renovation of the existing facility. The second phase was completed in July 2007, allowing all comprehensive services, including Developmental Disabilities and Healthy Start programs, to move to the South Chicago facility. By bringing all these services to one site, Chicago Family Health Center enables patients to access all ancillary services during one office visit.
The first phase, a 30,000-square-foot expansion, was completed in early summer 2007. This expansion increased the number of exam rooms to 30 and dental operatories to eight. The exam rooms were fully operational in April, and the new dental clinical was fully operational in June.
With the completion of the new facility, Chicago Family Health Center will now turn its focus on strengthening its services, and keeping its promise to the uninsured — which are the two additional strategies addressed in the campaign “Promoting Healthy Families. Building Stronger Communities. The 30th Anniversary Campaign for Chicago Family Health Center”.
