Visalia, CA – After nearly two years of planning and development, Family HealthCare Network (FHCN) will open the doors of its newest Community Health Center in the rural community of Traver, CA on Wednesday, December 9, 2015. Located on a parcel of Traver Elementary School land at 4177 Avenue 368, FHCN’s newest site will be a school-based health center and was developed in conjunction with Traver Joint School District. FHCN’s new Traver Health Center will offer comprehensive family medicine and pediatric services for local school children, families, and the community.
“This project is years in the making and with the support of our partners, patients, and the community, we are extremely pleased to officially begin expanding access to health care for Traver residents, and to be a part of the ongoing development of this community,” stated Family HealthCare Network President and CEO Kerry Hydash.
In early August, FHCN was notified that it was selected as a recipient of a New Access Point grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to open the new site. The 3,700 square foot health center features six exam rooms for medical services and supports the organization’s team-based, patient-centered medical home model. The Traver Health Center will mark the organization’s twentieth site, and sixteenth Community Health Center in Tulare and Kings Counties.
FHCN’s Traver Health Center will initially open part-time, Monday and Friday from 9:00am to 1:00 pm, and Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 2:00pm to 6:00pm. Full time hours will expand to Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 6:00pm.
