The leadership of Foundation for Comprehensive Community Care (FoundCare) and the Quantum Foundation recently held a demolition and new construction ceremony in West Palm Beach at the site for Palm Beach County’s first private, not-for-profit Community Health Center (CHC) for uninsured and underserved children and families. The new facility will provide a seamless system of access to compassionate, affordable, high-quality medical and dental care, preventative education, and pharmacy services to children and families of the medically underserved and uninsured communities of Palm Beach County regardless of their ability to pay.
