Family Care Health Centers opened a 27,000-square-foot clinic this week at 3824 South Grand Boulevard in Dutchtown, bringing primary care, behavioral health, pharmacy services, and nutrition support to a single location. The ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday included tours and a community luncheon attended by local leaders and residents.
Services and Access
The new clinic offers pediatrics, geriatrics, women’s health, expanded behavioral health, WIC nutrition services, and on-site pharmacy care. Staff will also help patients manage chronic conditions including diabetes, asthma, and high blood pressure. According to the announcement, the clinic will formally begin seeing patients on Tuesday, May 26. Services are provided on a sliding-fee scale regardless of a patient’s ability to pay, and CEO Aramide Ayorinde told Spectrum News, “We want to see folks who truly need us and even just for folks who are well because part of our work is preventative care.”
Location and Transit
Planners selected the Dutchtown site to meet neighborhood health needs and to capitalize on strong transit connections. The corner location sits at a crossroads for several bus routes, including the high-ridership 70 line, making it accessible for residents who rely on public transportation. Residents told reporters that the central location and bus access make the clinic especially valuable for neighbors without reliable transportation.
Investment and Design
The project represents roughly a $15 million investment in local health care, according to St. Louis Public Radio. Architects at Trivers collaborated with Family Care Health Centers to design the building so that medical, behavioral, and pharmacy services flow together, with an eye toward easier same-day handoffs and coordination during a single visit.
Staffing and Next Steps
Family Care Health Centers is hiring for doctors, nurses, medical assistants, clinicians, front-desk staff, and security positions, with plans to recruit from the surrounding community. Open positions and job-fair details are listed on the organization’s careers page. Residents can call the main Family Care Health Centers line or book online to make appointments. The organization will continue operating its other public sites, including Carondelet and Forest Park Southeast.
