Outreach Community Health Centers announces plans for new 58,000 square-foot healthcare facility on West Capitol Drive
Outreach Community Health Centers (OCHC) is building a new 58,000-square-foot addition west of its existing 210 W. Capitol Drive location. The building, estimated a cost of $17 million, will connect to the current clinic building. In addition, OCHC is working with bond and corporate counsel at Husch Blackwell LLP and the Cities of Glendale and Milwaukee to introduce, authorize and utilize tax-exempt bond financing for the Project.
The addition will expand OCHC’s capacity to serve more patients and provide critical behavioral health and primary care services to Milwaukee’s uninsured, underinsured and homeless populations. This new innovative space will be patient-friendly and community-focused. It will offer underground parking and three floors of space to house all the programs currently operated out of the 711 W. Capitol Drive building and expand behavioral health services, care coordination, and case management.
The building will be one of Wisconsin’s first WELL Certified facilities when completed. The International WELL Building Institute developed the WELL Building Standard as a vehicle for buildings and organizations to deliver more thoughtful and intentional spaces that enhance human health and well-being. Certification takes place through the International WELL Building
Institute™.
The construction began in the spring of 2022, with the anticipated occupation of the new building in the fall of 023. All current patient services will continue to be provided during construction. The project team includes Continuum Architects + Planners, Emem Group, and JCP Construction.
“Consolidating into one location will position our organization to effectively respond to the critical needs of our community while delivering the highest quality care”- Angela C. Sanders, Psy.D. Interim Chief Executive Officer of Outreach Community Health Center added.
Over the last 39 years, OCHC’s programs have grown to provide a robust continuum of care that responds to the fundamental life needs of clients and patients.
