West Terre Haute Clinic

Valley Professionals Community Health Center’s (VPCHC) proposes to establish the delivery of health care services and reduce barriers of care to the impoverished town of West Terre Haute through a new clinic. As a federally qualified community health center, VPCHC understands the need for individuals to have appropriate access and availability to health care and related services, as our mission is dedicated to providing comprehensive and integrated health care for all individuals and families.
 
The health outcomes of West Terre Haute residents are sorely underserved, with very limited access to options supporting positive individual and community health, prevention, and well-being. Due to high poverty, unemployment, and uninsured rates, many West Terre Haute residents face substantial challenges in obtaining health care services. The investment of a clinic will provide affordable, long-lasting and positive transformation within the community, by supporting the overall health of its individuals and families.
 
VPCHC expects the new clinic to instill hope and self-worth through access to services that the community does not currently have available. The delivery of integrated health care will improve positive health outcomes, allowing the prevention of illnesses and chronic diseases, as well as health management and behavioral services for whole-person care. VPCHC believes the investment in West Terre Haute will strengthen the community’s development, longevity, and health of its residents, demonstrating a proactive focus on prevention within the community. Integrated services aim to improve positive outcomes while reducing negative behaviors and dissolving barriers in the community such as transportation, access, affordability, and additional resources.

The new clinic will be nearly 5,000 sq. ft. of space with seven exam rooms, three behavioral health therapy rooms, and an in-house pharmacy.
