Integral Care to open northeast Austin facility, setting out to serve black and brown community
Neighbors who live in northeast Austin are at higher risk for hospitalization and early death.
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Neighbors who live in northeast Austin are at higher risk for hospitalization and early death.
That's according to Integral Care and its partners. It's why in it worked for nearly a decade to open a new healthcare facility in a location right off I-35.
It's about equity and access for the group and its partners.
Patients will have access to primary and mental health care, counseling and wellness programs, a pharmacy and other referral resources. This is all available to community members without insurance or who may be considered low-income.
The money that pays for this comes from state grants, and millions of dollars invested by the City of Austin and Travis County, according to Integral Care.
There was a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new facility Wednesday.
