Adelante Healthcare opens new facility
Posted: November 6, 2012
ATSU Mesa campus faculty and staff were on hand to help celebrate the Nov. 2 opening of the new Adelante Health Center in Mesa, Ariz.
Adelante is one of the 11 community health centers that represent the nation’s safety net in serving as community campuses for ATSU-SOMA medical students in their second through fourth years. In addition to ATSU-SOMA students at Adelante, physical therapy services will be provided at the new health center through ATSU-ASHS physical therapy faculty and students. Long-range plans include faculty and student participation for OT, PA, and audiology as well.
Adelante Health Center is located in an area identified as both medically underserved and ripe for economic redevelopment. The new 43,000 square foot health center is located near the Phoenix Metro Light rail, which will enable low-cost transportation for clients.
