Project Overview

Access to care is important to sustaining workforce as well as providing comprehensive and integrated health care for all members of a community. Valley Professionals Community Health Center (VPCHC) is a non-profit that offers a variety of services that are often not found or are limited in rural communities. These services include primary care, behavioral health care, dental care, and patient support services. The target population for VPCHC is the estimated 68,924 residents that live at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), are uninsured or underinsured, receive Medicaid or Medicare benefits, are medically underserved and/or have difficulty accessing appropriate primary care, behavioral health, and other patient services. VPCHC’s proposed READI project is the development of a new clinic located in West Terre Haute, Indiana. The proposed facility would be a total of 4,835 square feet that would provide the following amenities: 7 new exam rooms, 3 additional behavior health offices, new lab and vaccine area, pharmacy, nurse’s station, staff break room and waiting room. READI Funds were used towards the construction of the project, specifically concrete. VPCHC utilized American Rescue Plan – Health Center Construction and Capital Improvements (ARP-Capital, C8E). The project started on September 28, 2021 and was completed on June 14, 2022.
