This Golden LEAF grant will allow the Community Clinic of Rutherford County to renovate a building and increase clinic space from 1,400 square feet to 10,000 square feet allowing a shift from a free clinic to one that will accept Medicare and Medicaid patients among others. The expansion will also help the Clinic pursue Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) status, which would provide support for continuing operations. If the expansion is successful and the Clinic receives FQHC status, the Clinic expects to create at least twenty new positions.
