Swope Health South, located at 8825 Troost, opened its doors to the community in December 2010. The 5,000 square foot community medical clinic has completely renovated medical and administrative support space to include six exam rooms, two triage rooms, an on site lab, and a community meeting room.
Four medical providers staff the health clinic, which provides services for adults, OB-GYN and Pediatric patients. Patients are also able to obtain chronic disease management materials and information from the clinic's patient education rooms.
The opening of Swope Health South was a collaborative effort between local elected officials, The Local Investment Commission (LINC) and KCMO Health Department. "We are honored to be a part of this effort to establish a health resource here in South Kansas City," said Verneda Robinson, President & CEO of Swope Health Services. "Often, transportation is a barrier to receiving health care for uninsured and underserved citizens; through Swope Health South, we will bring services to this area of need," she added.
Congratulations to Swope Parkway Health Center for the major investment made in the community and for helping make Southtown Sparkle!
