Central Health opens long-awaited Del Valle Health Center - Austin Monitor

Central Health has inaugurated the Del Valle Health Center in collaboration with CommUnityCare, enhancing health care accessibility for low-income residents in Eastern Travis County. After delays, the center opened its doors on March 10, offering vital services like adult and pediatric dentistry, mental health, primary care, and a unique retail drive-through pharmacy. This initiative responds to the increased needs of a growing population in the area, described as a food and health care desert, compounded by rising housing costs. The center complements other efforts, including a bridge clinic catering to vulnerable populations.

...that fixed location is geared toward people who come in with "zero basis," as Lee described it - "no medications, no home, no shoes, no support..."

the first patient was served on March 10, indicating significant delays had finally been overcome in opening the Del Valle Health Center.
