Panorama City, Calif.-based Mission Community Hospital is converting its San Fernando campus into a primary and specialty care clinic that will serve as a medical home, according to a Daily News report.
Approximately 8,000 square feet of the existing main building will be rebuilt as the clinic at a cost of $1.5 million to $2 million. The facility, which will be renamed San Fernando Community Health Centers, will be considered a medical home because it is designed for patients to visit on a regular basis, according to the report.
The clinic will offer primary, specialty and mental health services in addition to dental and diabetes services offered through the existing dental clinic and diabetes center. The facility will include 17 exam rooms with programs in family practice, pediatrics, women's health, geriatric practice and specialty care such as OB/GYN, cardiology, gastroenterology and endocrinology. In addition, the clinic will provide health education, screenings and ancillary services such as immunizations, a vision program, cancer detection, laboratory services and radiology.
The San Fernando Community Health Centers aims to fill a gap of care in the community identified in a recent audit conducted for Mission Community Hospital. The audit found local clinics do not adequately serve nearly 70 percent of local residents who qualify for federally assisted healthcare, according to the report.
