Although it is located at a school, the center is open to everyone in the community.
It s a satellite clinic under the Community Healthcare Center, a federally qualified health center located at 200 Martin Luther King, Jr.
The new center has two healthcare providers who see patients Monday through Friday, along with seven support staff members.
