Densman Clinic reopens in Grand Prairie after CARES Act-funded renovation
Summary
Speakers at a Grand Prairie meeting announced the Densman Clinic has reopened after a renovation funded in part by the federal CARES Act; the clinic offers five exam rooms, an on-site lab, and low-cost immunizations and will be open by appointment on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Speakers at a public meeting said the Densman Clinic in Grand Prairie has reopened after a renovation funded in part by the federal CARES Act, restoring local access to primary care and immunizations at the clinic’s longtime location.
Officials and presenters said the clinic had not been remodeled in nearly 30 years and that the renovation, supported by CARES Act funding, added five exam rooms, private screening and counseling rooms and an on-site laboratory. "The clinic is more than just a building. It's a lifeline for our residents to help our community stay healthy," said Speaker 2, a staff member.
The speakers said the facility will provide low-cost immunizations for children and adults and a range of screening and wellness programs. One presenter noted limited local access to health care, saying there are "not many doctors or clinics within a 2 mile radius," making the Densman Clinic a critical point of care.
Speaker 3, a staff member, emphasized access and inclusivity: "No matter where you come from, no matter what language you speak, no matter what's your economic status, everybody has the right to have access to quality health care, and this clinic exemplifies that." Speaker 3 also referenced ongoing measles activity elsewhere in the state while urging vaccination.
Clinic hours and appointment information were provided during the meeting. The Densman Clinic will be open Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.; appointments are required and can be scheduled by calling (972) 692-2780, speakers said.
The meeting record contains no formal motions or votes related to the clinic’s reopening. The remarks in the transcript appear to be announcements and descriptions of services and hours rather than items requiring board action.
