This grant helped Tri-County Community Health Council (dba CommWell Health or CWH) renovate and reconfigure the 42-year-old facility on its campus in Newton Grove. The renovated facility continues to offer primary medical, dental, and behavioral health services including pediatrics, WIC, infectious disease, specialty care, laboratory, x-ray and a pharmacy. The campus serves approximately 8,000 patients annually, and the expanded capacity will provide care to an additional 2,800 patients over five years. The project created 47 new jobs, including four healthcare providers. The average wage for the new cohort of FTEs is approximately $55,116.00. CWH leverages partnerships with secondary schools and universities to enhance work-based learning in healthcare. CWH has seen a positive correlation between the number of medical/ dental students training at CWH and those who accepted employment with CWH.
