[NEWS] Philadelphia’s Neediest Population Gets State Of The Art Medical Home

From CBS Philly: 

City officials, health care providers and homeless advocates will cut the ribbon today on a new Wellness Center in North Philadelphia. The innovative center will serve the city’s neediest population.

The neighborhood around 22nd Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue is officially designated as “Medically Underserved” and it is also overburdened with the city’s highest rates of diabetes, asthma and other illnesses. The new Stephen Klein Wellness Center aims to change all of that.

“It’s not just that the Center is state of the art with high quality service,” says Health Care Services director Monica McCurdy. “We want to create a model where things are integrated, where you can come under one roof and obtain a variety of services.”
