St. David's Foundation is providing People's Community Clinic with a $10 million grant to build its new headquarters in Northeast Austin at 1101 Camino La Costa, People's Community Clinic announced Dec. 9.
PCC is expected to open the 54,000-square-foot facility by November 2015 and will have the capacity to provide health care to more than 10,000 additional patients than it currently serves, said PCC CEO Regina Rogoff. PCC serves underserved and uninsured patients in Central Texas.
"Virtually 50 percent of our patients live within two miles of this location, so we are already part of this community," she said. "This facility will allow us to become even more important to our community and more effective in improving the health of [the] patients served here."
Rogoff said construction is expected to begin in December. To help decide the location for the facility, PCC hired Health care planning and consulting firm Capital Link. The firm's health care needs analysis revealed that ZIP code 78752, where the headquarters will be built, and surrounding ZIP codes, have the most unmet health care needs in the Austin community, Rogoff said.
