Proposed Recipient:  Ellis County Coalition for Health Options., dba Hope Clinic

Address of Recipient: 411 E. Jefferson St., Waxahachie, TX 75165

Amount of Request: $7,295,783

Project Description and Statement of Public Benefit: Adequate funding for the  program is essential because the Hope Clinic no longer has the facility space to provide the care needed for our patients. Many patients must check-in and wait in their cars until being called due to limited space in the waiting room. New adult patients wait one month for a new appointment, and well-woman visits, and dental appointments are each on a three-month wait. Their current 8,000 square foot Waxahachie clinic is landlocked, making additions to the existing structure impossible. As a multidisciplinary center, the new building will bring together several specialties to provide much-needed comprehensive care to our patients. The new facility will include a wing devoted to behavioral health care for adults and pediatric patients, dental for adults and pediatric patients, family medicine, and women’s health. Overall, this project will benefit the community and support the growing healthcare needs of the area.
