“Access to local health care is vital, and these upgrades make Corona Health Center a much more inviting and comfortable space for patients who are there for these services, as well as staff,” said NYC Department of Design and Construction Commissioner Paul A. Ochoa. “This $10.7 million project made major upgrades inside and outside the building, including a new ADA-accessible ramp and lobby, new skylights for more natural light, a restored façade and roof, and more. This Center, located in the heart of Corona, is very important to the community, so we made sure services continued during construction work and we finished nearly a month in advance. I thank the DDC team, our contractor, designer and our partners at DOHMH for delivering this project as fast as possible.”
“New Yorkers deserve public health services delivered in a dignified environment that is as welcoming physically as it is professionally,” said Health Commissioner Dr. Alister F. Martin. “By improving and updating the Corona Health Center, we are equipped to better serve the community, whether they need testing, treatment, vaccination, or reproductive health services. We thank DDC for their partnership and dedication to this project to ensure all New Yorkers have physical access to the health care services they deserve.”
