A neighborhood health clinic is coming to Fort Worth’s Las Vegas Trail area.
“It is a desert for lots of other things, too – whether it’s nutritious food, economic stability, housing – all of these things are missing in this neighborhood,” said Veronica Tolley with Cook Children’s.
The two-story 40,000 square foot building will sit on the corner of Calmont Avenue and Cherry Lane in west Fort Worth. Construction will start this year with an expected opening in late 2025. According to Cook Children’s more than 20,000 children live in the area with a 7% growth expected by 2025. A lack of access to transportation and care often leads residents in Las Vegas Trail to the emergency room.
“There have not been any pediatricians in this area for many years and we want to bring those services to those children,” said Chris Pedigo with Cook Children’s.“One positive thing leads to another positive thing so there’s probably an impact here that we can’t predict today but the potential is there,” Tolley said.
