Community Health Centers of Greater Dayton, a nonprofit healthcare provider, has announced its intention to move its Miamisburg health center to a new location in West Carrollton next year. The organization has developed plans to construct an 11,700-square-foot facility at 630 E. Dixie Drive in West Carrollton, which is approximately 1.5 miles away from the existing Central Alex Health Center.
While a specific timeline for construction remains uncertain, Gregory Hopkins, the executive director, stated that the nonprofit is actively securing funding for the project. According to records from the Montgomery County Auditor's Office, the land for the future West Carrollton health center was purchased last year.
To support the endeavor, the Montgomery County Commission has approved a $250,000 grant for the project. Additionally, Community Health Centers of Greater Dayton has secured nearly $700,000 in federal funding and has requested $1.1 million in congressionally directed funds.
The decision to relocate the health center stems from the nonprofit's aim to serve patients in Miamisburg, West Carrollton, and surrounding communities from a permanent site that is easily accessible via public transportation. Currently, more than 13,000 low-income individuals residing in the two zip codes near the planned center lack access to healthcare services.
The network of health centers operated by Community Health Centers of Greater Dayton welcomes all patients regardless of their ability to pay. Approximately 60% of the network's patients are covered by Medicaid, while 20% are Medicare beneficiaries. Nearly 7% of patients are uninsured.
The upcoming West Carrollton health center will feature 12 examination rooms, a dental suite with a laboratory, a drive-thru pharmacy, a behavioral health space, and more, providing comprehensive services to the community.
Community Health Centers of Greater Dayton operates multiple health centers in Dayton, Miamisburg, and Huber Heights.
