COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING - CONSTRUCTION - PROJECT FUNDING OF TWO MILLION ASSIST LONG ISLAND FQHC TO COMPLETE THE UPGRADES TO ONE OF OUR SIX HEALTH CENTERS. ELMONT HEALTH CENTER, LOCATED AT 161 HEMPSTEAD TURNPIKE, ELMONT, NY THAT PROVIDES SERVICES TO OVER 6600 PATIENTS PER YEAR, PROVIDING OVER 24,000 VISITS. THE IMPROVEMENTS WILL ALLOW US TO ADDRESS THE EVER-GROWING DEMANDS FOR HEALTH CARE SERVICES IN ELMONT AS WELL AS CONTRIBUTE TO THE SAFETY AND AESTHETIC VALUE OF THE FACILITY FOR BOTH STAFF AND PATIENTS. THIS FUNDING WILL HELP TO REPAIR DAMAGE TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING, INCLUDING FENCING AND ROOF REPAIRS THAT HAD BEEN DETERIORATING AND NEGLECTED FOR YEARS BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER.

COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING - CONSTRUCTION - PROJECT FUNDING OF ONE MILLION WILL BE USE TO SUPPORT THE CONSTRUCTION OF OUR A NEW HEALTH CENTER LOCATED AT 619 FULTON AVENUE, HEMPSTEAD , NEW YORK 11550. THIS NEW BUILDING WILL REPLACE OUR OLDER AND SMALLER FACILITY. THE NEW BUILDING IS A 24,000 SQUARE FOOT, OUR CURRENT FACILITY IS 8,300 SQUARE FEET AND DOES NOT MEET THE GROWING DEMAND WE HAVE HAD FOR SERVICES. EACH YEAR, THE HEMPSTEAD HEALTH CENTER PROVIDES OVER 21,000 VISITS TO 6,000-9,000 PEOPLE LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY; APPROXIMATELY 38% OF THESE PATIENTS ARE UNINSURED. THIS NEW CENTER WILL HELP US EXPAND FROM 8,300 SQ. FT. TO 24,000 SQ. FT. AND POTENTIALLY DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS SERVED. THIS SITE WILL HELP IMPROVE ACCESS TO NEEDED MEDICAL CARE AND WILL HELP STABILIZE HEALTH OUTCOMES IN THE VILLAGE OF HEMPSTEAD, ONE OF THE MOST UNDERSERVE COMMUNITIES IN NASSAU COUNTY, NY.
