Background/Explanation:
The Bayside Health Clinic was initially constructed in 2016 as a 3,100 square foot, one-story, free-standing facility with exam rooms, a dental procedure that houses two exam chairs, and multi-use office space for confidential counseling. Since it’s opening, the clinic has served more and more clients and has been found to come up short in the available space needed to accommodate a growing population and full integration of health care services.
Through the FY2020 Capital Assistance for Disaster Response and Recovery Efforts (CADRE) funding, Pinellas County expanded the footprint of the clinic by adding a 1,300 square foot medical wing to the north side of the building to incorporate negative-pressure exam rooms for client isolation during an infectious health emergency, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Through the FY2021 Health Center Infrastructure Support funding, an additional 1,100 square foot wing was built on the west side of the Bayside Health Clinic for an expansion of dental and behavioral health services.
The completed expansion project increased the size of the Bayside Health Clinic to approximately 5,600 square feet.
