Gloucester Mathews Care Clinic

INFRASTRUCTURE FOR GLOUCESTER MATHEWS CARE CLINIC: RENOVATION TO CREATE A NURSING STATION, WHICH WILL IMPROVE PATIENT CARE FOR VULNERABLE RESIDENTS, & REPLACE AGING EQUIPMENT (HVAC, GENERATOR, SERVER) - THIS PROJECT WILL FUND THE RENOVATION OF GLOUCESTER MATHEWS CARE CLINIC'S MEDICAL CLINIC SPACE TO CREATE A NURSING STATION WHICH WILL IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF PATIENT CARE. IT WILL ALSO FUND THE REPLACEMENT OF AGING EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING TWO HVAC SYSTEMS, A GENERATOR WHICH SUPPORTS OUR PHARMACY REFRIGERATION AND TECHNOLOGY, AS WELL AS REPLACEMENT OF A SERVER. THIS RENOVATION AND EQUIPMENT ARE NEEDED TO SUSTAIN OUR COMPREHENSIVE HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO THE VULNERABLE RESIDENTS OF GLOUCESTER, MATHEWS AND LOWER KING & QUEEN COUNTIES. GLOUCESTER MATHEWS CARE CLINIC PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN ADDRESSING HEALTH DISPARITIES, DELIVERING QUALITY HEALTH CARE TO UNDER SERVED POPULATIONS. WE ARE AN INTEGRAL COMPONENT OF THE HEALTHCARE “SAFETY NET.” OUR MISSION ALIGNS WITH THE FEDERAL PRIORITY OF PROVIDING EQUITABLE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES FOR ALL AMERICANS – MANY HAVE HEALTH COVERAGE, BUT LACK ACCESS TO CARE. UTILIZING FEDERAL FUNDS TO RENOVATE OUR CLINIC FOR MORE EFFICIENT DELIVERY OF CARE, AND REPLACING AGING HVAC, POWER AND TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT, IS AN INVESTMENT IN PUBLIC HEALTH THAT CAN PROVIDE LONG-TERM COST SAVINGS, AND ENSURE CONTINUITY OF HEALTH CARE AND MEDICATIONS FOR VULNERABLE CITIZENS DURING CRITICAL TIMES.
