Capital Fund Lead Lender for New Clinic Space in Sandersville, GA
With support from Capital Fund, Community Health Care Systems, Inc. (CHCS), has further extended its reach in providing care in rural, medically underserved areas in Central Georgia with the addition of a 19th clinic site. Capital Fund is proud to contribute $2.5 million to this $3.6 million project.
CHCS is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) operating in 14 counties in Central Georgia through soon-to-be 19 locations. In addition to Capital Fund’s loan, financing for this project also includes $1.1 million from Primary Care Development Corporation (PCDC).
Slated to be completed in fall 2024, the new 11,500-square-foot building will primarily serve as administrative offices, while also housing their behavioral health hub and newly-added chiropractic services—an offering made possible by this project. The new building will also have an X-Ray room, saving patients a trip to the nearby hospital. The project is estimated to increase patient visits by 86%, from 65,083 in 2021 to a projected 121,350 in 2031.
The clinic will have a dedicated board room as well as training room that will not only serve CHCS employees but also the greater community, with the health center offering educational programs. The administration building will have two reception areas, multiple offices, conference rooms, break rooms, a kitchen, space for cubicles, an IT room, and ample storage options—a feature not available in their nearby Tennille location. By moving administration to the new site, CHCS will free up space at their Tennille site to introduce optometry services. With the new service offerings and the construction of the new site, full-time equivalent employees (FTEs) are estimated to increase 15% by 2031.
CHCS was incorporated in 1992 to develop and administer comprehensive health care and support services to residents in and around their counties. Additionally, CHCS also provides health education, disease prevention programs, community outreach, and enrollment services. CHCS believes everyone is entitled to quality care that meets their needs regardless of their ability to pay.
