Caring Health Center - Springfield, MA
This 45,000 square foot development project tripled the size of the existing health center - the only community health center in the region serving only low-income families – allowing it to serve twice as many patients annually while offering a range of medical and wellness services. Capacity increased by 14,000 patients per year, with 52,000 more medical and 15,000 more dental visits.
