Patients at the oldest-standing neighborhood health center in the country have a fresh space to get their care. Renovations were recently completed at Denver Health's Bernard F. Gipson Sr. Eastside Family Health Center.
The $6.2 Million renovation project started in the Fall of 2018. It was the first major overhaul of the facility in the heart of Denver's Five Points neighborhood since it opened in 1966.
The following updates will better position Eastside to deliver care to Denver's growing community, including the underserved who rely on Denver Health's services:
- Modern exam and procedure rooms
- Electric chairs that can be lowered and re-positioned and are able to accommodate bariatric patients in every adult exam room
- Updated common areas
- New restrooms
- New lighting
- New HVAC systems
- Improved ADA access and sidewalks
- New flooring, paint and wall coverings
- New dental exam chairs with nature photos embedded in the ceiling to help calm patients
Denver Health will celebrate the grand re-opening of the Bernard F. Gipson Sr. Eastside Family Health Center this Saturday, November 23, from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
