Whitefoord’s New Health Center
Whitefoord opened a new Health Center at 1401 Hosea Williams Drive, N.E. in 2020 to expand and increase access to medical, dental and behavioral health services for families in Southeast Atlanta. The center serves children and adults and has a Pediatrician, a Family Medical Practitioner, Nurse Practitioners, Behavioral Health Therapists, A Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, and Dentists on staff. The 6,000-square-foot free-standing facility replaced the Whitefoord location on Warren Street, which closed on August 27, 2019.
Anchored by a capital grant from the public sector - Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and with broad support from private funders such as the Zeist Foundation, James M. Cox Foundation, Joseph B. Whitehead Foundation, The Rich Foundation, the Tull Charitable Foundation and additional partners and foundations, Whitefoord was able to complete a $3 million capital campaign for the building. To complete the project, Whitefoord leadership worked with general contractor Structor Group, architects at Perkins + Will, and structural engineers at Walter P. Moore.
