La
Clinica del Pueblo utilizes CHRC grant to open a new primary care facility
in Hyattsville
La Clinica del Pueblo, a federally qualified health center,
received a three-year grant from the CHRC earlier this year to open a new
comprehensive health center in Hyattsville. The center is projected to open in June 2016. The program involves a partnership with Doctors Community Hospital, and
the site of the new health center will be adjacent to the Prince George’s Plaza
Metro Station. The center will provide a comprehensive list of services
including primary care, specialty care, radiology, case management, behavioral
health services, insurance assistance, and health education.
The opening of the new health center in Hyattsville involves
a public-private partnership, as La Clinica del Pueblo received additional
funding from the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (DHHS), CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, The
Cafritz Foundation, The Meyer Foundation, and The Split Rock Foundation. For

The Commission has awarded funds to support a number of
innovative hospital-community partnerships. To learn more about CHRC support
for hospital-community partnerships, click here. The CHRC looks to support programs that are
financially sustainable and replicable and released the white paper, “Sustaining
Community-Hospital Partnerships to Improve Population Health,” to provide
information to current and future grantees and promote further
hospital-community partnerships.
