Q Why does the Del Puerto Health Center need to move to an expanded facility?
A The Del Puerto Health Center is currently located in a small facility on Ward Avenue in Patterson. The doctors and nurses at the Health Center see over 100 patients a day in a facility that is just over 5,000 square feet. This facility is far too small to continue to meet the growing demand for healthcare services in our community. A larger and more modern facility will allow the Health Center to provide an expanded array of medical services and specialties. The new facility will allow the Health Center to expand to 29,500 square feet to allow for the medical services and specialists that Patterson needs.

Q What new medical services and specialties will be available at the new Del Puerto Health Center?
A Once relocated to the new and expanded facility, the Del Puerto Health Center will provide primary care, pediatrics, internal medicine, cardiology, radiology, neurology, orthopedics and
minor surgery.

Recently, due to community pressure, the Patterson City Council approved the first steps in allowing our inadequate and cramped 5,000 sq. ft. Del Puerto Health Center to move to an expansive, already existing, 29,500 sq. ft. facility. This move will provide the necessary space to attract and house new Medical Specialists, improving the quality of healthcare for all in our community.

Over two thousand local signatures were gathered in less than 2 weeks in support of this move, which will create needed new jobs for local residents.
