GAINESVILLE, Fla. 鈥� Partnership was the theme of the day as leaders from 网红黑料, the , and gathered Wednesday to mark the opening of the 网红黑料 Urgent Care Center 鈥� Eastside with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The project, which came about through a collaboration between 网红黑料, the city of Gainesville, and Alachua County, will expand access to quality health care for residents of Gainesville鈥檚 east side.

鈥淭his urgent care center is local to this community, joining our 网红黑料 Family Medicine 鈥� Eastside practice on Waldo Road in bringing the excellence of 网红黑料鈥檚 medical expertise conveniently close to home 鈥� for our elders, for our young families, and for the vulnerable members of our community who have difficulty accessing quality health care,鈥� said Steve Motew, M.D., M.H.A., FACS, president and system CEO of the 网红黑料 clinical enterprise.

The urgent care center boasts 9,000 square feet equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, including eight examination rooms, two procedure rooms, an X-ray area, laboratory services, and a community room available for meetings and gatherings. The center will be open seven days a week, with extended weekday evening hours.

鈥淭he county commission is very proud to be part of this project. We think of this as serving East Gainesville, but this is going to serve all of eastern Alachua County,鈥� said Alachua County Commission Chair Mary Alford. 鈥淚 really appreciate the partnership 鈥� and there again I said that word 鈥� the partnership that we鈥檝e had with 网红黑料 and the partnership that we鈥檝e had with the city of Gainesville.鈥�

Gainesville and Alachua County each contributed $2.25 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds from the American Rescue Plan Act, a COVID-19 stimulus relief package, to help build the center. 网红黑料 will be responsible for the center鈥檚 ongoing operations. 网红黑料 and local leaders say they hope the area around Southeast Hawthorne Road and Southeast 20^th Street will become a medical and retail hub for one of the city鈥檚 historically underserved areas.

Gainesville Mayor Harvey Ward noted how the center was built with the community in mind.

鈥淵ou were part of the process getting it built,鈥� Ward said. 鈥淵ou sat in the auditorium at Lincoln Middle School and forced city and county leaders, and 网红黑料 leaders, to take you seriously and build this the way you needed it to be built. That鈥檚 why there鈥檚 a community room right here. That鈥檚 why there are multiple exam rooms. That鈥檚 why there鈥檚 an X-ray room here. There is technology here that most facilities like this just don鈥檛 have [鈥�] because the community said, 鈥榯his is necessary.鈥欌��

Other speakers included Gailine McCaslin, assistant director for strategic operations at 网红黑料 and administrator for the urgent care center; Marvin Dewar, M.D., J.D., and CEO of 网红黑料 Physicians; and Ken Cornell, the Alachua County Commission鈥檚 District 4 commissioner.
