The facility offers a range of services including contraception, STI testing and treatment, breast and cervical cancer screenings, vaccines and gender-affirming care.
Other features include expanded patient spaces, an on-site laboratory and pharmacy, community outreach, advocacy, education offices and a community meeting room.
