Partnerships with local healthcare providers AxessPointe Community Health Centers, Coleman Health Services, and Peg’s Foundation will bring services and staffing to I Promise HealthQuarters, cleveland.com reported.
The anticipated project is scheduled to open in 2023 following plans to renovate a building where the facility will be housed, per the news outlet. In addition to medical services, families can enjoy the benefits of outdoor green space for recreational activities.
