Body
BACKGROUND
This item, on behalf of the Office of Community Care and Empowerment, authorizes an amendment to an existing lease agreement with Martin Luther King, Jr. Family Health Clinic doing business as Foremost Family Health Centers (“Foremost”) for and additional five years for approximately 25,247 square feet of office space located at 2922 Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, Building B. The five-year extension will provide for the continued use for a community-based family health and wellness center that is accessible and affordable for the insured, uninsured or underinsured patients of all ages.
Foremost is a community-based health center which opened its doors for service in August 1986 and has been operating at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center since July 2002. At that time, the center had one pediatrician, two nurse practitioners, two dentists, a lab and pharmacy services. In the early 1990’s, the center added an immunization clinic and a mobile unit which served children throughout Dallas. In the 2000’s, the center began to attract families in search of affordable and accessible health care services and used this opportunity to complete major renovations to accommodate more patient exam rooms, centralized support staff, new equipment and electronic patient health records. Foremost also integrated behavioral health services as a part of the primary care service and increased the medical providers and staff to 60 members.
The five-year extension will begin on July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2030.
