MCC to Break Ground on South Street Expansion!

Mendocino Coast Clinics (MCC) is thrilled to break ground for its South Street facility expansion on March 30, 2012 at 2:30 PM, featuring special guest Congressman Mike Thompson. The public and patients are welcome to attend the celebration, which will occur at the west entrance of the building at 205 South Street in Fort Bragg.

Swithenbank General Building Contractors is the successful bidder for the project, funded by a grant from the Capital Development (CD) program of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the federal legislation to expand health care coverage for all Americans. MCC was one of 18 community health centers in California to receive this award.

Acknowledging the vital role community health care centers will play in providing more services; these funds will enable MCC to expand its South Street facility, which opened in 2003. While the original building plans called for a larger facility at the time, building costs exceeded the money available to MCC. So the original square footage was reduced although much of the infrastructure was built with goal of eventual expansion to accommodate the growing needs of the community.

The ACA grant will allow MCC to build an almost 7,000 square foot addition, providing more counseling rooms, dental operatories, medical exam rooms, offices, a kitchen suitable for disaster use and a large conference room which will be available for community use.

“I am excited Representative Thompson is able to spearhead the Groundbreaking Ceremony because he has been such an essential champion of accessible health care”, said Paula Cohen, MCC Executive Director. “While MCC already serves 50% of coastal residents, this will prepare the organization to provide the additional services and accommodate the new patients anticipated as health care reform unfolds. We are pleased to bolster the local economy while expanding our capacity to serve our community with quality medical, dental and behavioral health care”, she added.
