Our commitment to our mission and standard of excellence coupled with the
commitment to meet the community's health care needs has created a necessity to
expand our physical space.

Increasing levels of uninsured/underinsured
It is well known that the current state of health care in the U.S. is broken. Many
people are either unable to afford insurance or their jobs cannot provide health
insurance for them. This problem is only increasing.

Increasing complexity of medical, behavioral health, and spiritual needs.
Over 60% of the patients seen at LLCHC have a substance abuse and/or
mental health issue in addition to multiple chronic medical conditions. Effective,
comprehensive care requires a team of multidisciplinary providers and ancillary
services.

An outdated, inadequate facility that is impairing our ability to deliver efficient,
effective care of the highest quality.
Our current health center site is 2,800 square feet. The layout and the small facility
prevents us from growing any further. Our administrative offices were moved to a
building a block away so that we could use every available space for patient services.
Providers are only able to have 2 exam rooms and need 3. This has a negative
impact on our providers' efficiency and decreases the amount of patients that can
be seen. Our patients and staff do not have the minimum space and privacy
needed to function effectively. We have pushed the current facility beyond its
maximum use.
