at Forest Park Health Center

State Representative Connie Pillich, Former HCESC Executive Director Jack Collopy, Forest Park Health Center patient Emily Espinoza, and HCC Board Chair Nina Lewis cut the ribbon to newly-renovated facility.

The HealthCare Connection celebrated National Health Center Week 2010: Turning the Vision into Reality on Friday, August 13 with an Open House and Ribbon Cutting at the newly-renovated Forest Park Health Center.  Thanks to the generous support of The Spaulding Foundation, The Dr. Stanley and Mickey Kaplan Foundation, and Ohio State Capital Funding, this pediatric facility will be able to serve more patients than ever before.   The square footage has been doubled, adding two new exam rooms, a waiting room, and a restroom to the facility.  Forest Park Health Center is the only pediatric healthcare safety net in Hamilton County located outside the City of Cincinnati.   Thanks to all our supporters who helped turn our vision into a reality!

This June, GE announced that it has selected The HealthCare Connection to be part of its "Developing Health" initiative, awarding The HCC  two $250,000 grants: one for Lincoln Heights Health Center and another for Mt. Healthy Family Practice.  These  funds will be directed towards increasing access to primary care and dental services.  In addition to this generous contribution, GE will continue to partner with The HCC to provide volunteer support to the organization. 

The HCC is thrilled to be part of this global initiative as it continues to provide high quality primary health and dental care to the underserved in northern Hamilton County.

The HealthCare Connection connects all persons to quality healthcare--all ages, all cultures, all incomes, all health concerns. We were founded in 1967 as Ohio’s first community health center. Our mission is the same today as it was when we first opened for operation. We serve low-income, underinsured, and uninsured persons living in northern Hamilton County. We make sure they receive the same access to quality healthcare as fully insured persons.
