“The more than 100-year-old building has needed substantial structural upgrades to continue its use as a health care facility. Aside from the expense, the building is a historical landmark and as such, has limitations and prohibitions to most construction and renovations,” the organization said in a news release.
Officials said the health care facility had undergone a two-year renovation plan and will open May 9 in its new location at 3601 North MacGregor Way. The new location will feature new equipment in a modern space, the news release said.
“The move from Thomas Street Health Center to Quentin Mease Clinic is a bittersweet transition. Thomas Street has been a pillar of the HIV/AIDS community with a rich legacy of providing care to sometimes stigmatized, and often, marginalized population,” officials said in a Facebook post.
The Harris Health System's clinic provides services by Baylor College of Medicine and McGovern Medical School at UTHealth and offers more than just assistance for patients affected by or living with HIV, according to its website.
