The center is expected to open in the Fall of 2024.
Renovation efforts at the Coconut Grove Health Center are nearly complete after continued construction in 2023. The new and improved 6,400 square-feet will provide larger patient rooms, upgraded waiting areas, and cutting-edge medical equipment. With a focus on patient care and advanced technology, CHI is set to offer a modernized experience for people seeking services in the Coconut Grove community. The center is expected to open in the Fall of 2024.
Cardiology Services
In 2023, CHI unveiled cardiology services to patients, marking a significant extension of the health center’s medical program. This initiative allowed CHI to extend its reach to a broader spectrum of patients and addressed the critical need for comprehensive heart health services for its patients. Cardiologists are in high demand and the wait to see one of these specialists in the community can be lengthy. Not to mention many of CHI’s uninsured patients with heart conditions are sometimes unlikely to follow through with a cardiologist due to transportation issues and financial reasons. The newly established cardiology team at CHI provides specialized care for patients facing heart conditions such as uncontrolled blood pressure, heart failure, heart murmurs, and more. This expansion of services aligns with CHI’s mission to offer patients a full range of medical services.
OB/GYN services at Homestead Hospital CHI’s OB/GYN services partnered with Homestead Hospital in 2023 to strengthen support and healthcare for women in the community. With this affiliation, CHI providers direct patients in need of immediate in-patient care, to contracted OB/GYN doctors for deliveries, emergency services, and a variety of obstetric care, at Homestead Hospital. Since May 2023, there have been an average of 65 deliveries a month among CHI patients. This service not only guarantees integrated care but also enables CHI providers to focus on in-house patient care, leading to increased patient capacity. Homestead Hospital staff also receive comprehensive patient records from CHI and are fully equipped with up-to-date information for a seamless transition of care.
