Central Florida Health Care<\/a> is expanding its services in Lakeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The medical group Wednesday morning broke ground on a new health facility \u2014 conveniently located across from the current building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new center is expected to be bigger and offer more services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many low-income families, it has been a struggle to get services like dentistry and pediatrician help at Central Florida Health Care\u2019s Lakeland location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new location plans to change that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lorraine Goldener has been a patient for eight years and was there Wednesday for a checkup. It’s a place where she says she\u2019s getting the best care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI like the feeling of family, people that work here, they tend to get to know their patients,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The facility located on North Missouri Avenue serves low-income patients who live in the area. But as the community grows, so does the need for a bigger facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new building will be four stories. Patients will receive all their normal health care services with the addition of dentistry, pediatrician services, a drive-through pharmacy and a diabetes center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Central Florida Health Care broke ground this morning on a new health care center that will be a one stop shop for all healthcare needs. We spoke with one patient and the impact this will have on the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lot of people have challenges getting to their health care provider, and so with all the service that we\u2019ll provide at this location, they\u2019ll be able to come get all the services that they need,\u201d said Ann Claussen, CEO of Central Florida Health Care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the center’s patients walk or bike to their appointments, making it convenient to build the new facility at the same location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Goldener, the expansion means more services and convenience for her whole family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have grandchildren, I don\u2019t have little children, but if I have an appointment for myself and they\u2019re sick, and then I\u2019d be able to take them in the same day and in the same place, that\u2019s just a big plus,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n

It is a service she says will ensure she and others in the community stay healthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can only hope that it would be bigger and better than what we already have,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The facility will be a modular building, that will be built somewhere else and then brought to the property. The grand opening is anticipated in the next 12 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
