The Community Health Hub will be the physical co-location of long-allied regional organizations who serve low-income, uninsured adults with services offered in English and Spanish. Vecinos is the anchor organization and will own and operate the building. The Hub will be centrally located at 19 Smoky Mountain Drive, Franklin, NC 28734, where community members can safely seek a variety of services and resources from bilingual staff who highly value cultural humility, integrated care, and respect for the patient. Staff will be cross trained in all organizations’ services to provide a streamlined user experience. Joint Steering Committee Organizations: Leaders of these organizations have committed to steer the creation and implementation of the Community Health Hub and co-locate upon the building’s opening.
