In a major development for southeast Fort Wayne, a new health center is being planned in partnership with Bridge of Grace. The clinic will be located in the new Bridge of Grace complex at 909 Elmrow Drive and will offer comprehensive services to the whole family, from prenatal care to primary care, as well as mental health services for children and adults. Assistance with Medicaid and insurance will also be available.
Funding for the clinic comes from Parkview Health’s Community Health Improvement program, along with other state, local, and private funds. Bridge of Grace founder Javier Mondragon is excited about the location and walkability of the clinic to the neighborhood, which he believes will be a game-changer for the community. Bridge of Grace is described as a compassionate ministries center out of Many Nations Church and is affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene. The board includes former FWPD Chief Garry Hamilton, as well as area business and nonprofit leaders.
Alliance Health already has an existing clinic inside the Lafayette Medical Center. An open house for the new clinic is set to take place on June 12, just in time for mid-June opening. This new addition to Alliance Health’s portfolio will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the health and well-being of southeast Fort Wayne residents.
