2 2022 House Alma Adams Adams Alma A000370 Democrat NC   Labor HHS West Boulevard Health Clinic at Stratford Richardson YMCA, Charlotte, NC, Mecklenburg County, NC-12 WEST BOULEVARD HEALTH CLINIC AT STRATFORD RICHARDSON YMCA, CHARLOTTE, NC, MECKLENBURG COUNTY, NC-12 The Stratford Richardson YMCA sits in the heart of an Opportunity Zone in critical need of long-term investment. This area of Charlotte has been named one of the city’s six Corridors of Opportunity and is deemed a “food desert” where residents have little to no access to quality fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition, despite being an area with disproportionately high percentages of chronic disease, the residents of the West Boulevard Corridor have limited to no access to healthcare. Working alongside our neighbors and partners, the YMCA of Greater Charlotte is committed to break the cycle of poverty for marginalized communities by addressing food insecurity, increasing access to care and providing more opportunities for youth and teens. As an initial and critical step, the YMCA of Greater Charlotte is offering well-positioned land on West Boulevard to construct a healthcare clinic that will be a catalyst for establishing the first YMCA integrated Health Equity Campus in Charlotte at the Stratford Richardson YMCA. If awarded, taxpayer dollars would be utilized for the construction of the clinic that would be available to and accessible by all residents of the West Boulevard Corridor, not just YMCA members. Upon completing construction, the Y will collaborate with a healthcare partner to provide the medical services necessary to meet the critical health needs of the West Boulevard community by providing clinical care and health education resources. Our belief is that by providing residents of the West Boulevard Corridor with access to care, they will be able to live happier, healthier lives, and serve as one of the tools that ultimately helps to break the cycle of poverty. 400 East Morehead Street, Charlotte, NC 28202 2657760
