Project Description

NMTC financing for Maternal and Family Health Services, Inc. (“MFHS”) to support the improvements, operations and equipment purchases for a 14,000 square foot medical clinic located in Scranton, PA. The new facility consolidates and replace two nearby clinics to expand and enhance prenatal, obstetric, postpartum, and newborn care services. MFHS expects to meet the healthcare needs of 5,775 unduplicated patients annually, within the severely distressed census tract and surrounding medically underserved communities. Upon stabilization, the MFHS anticipates improving operational efficiency and increasing patient capacity by 145%. The new facility serves as the only provider of “one stop” maternity care services across Lackawanna County. Services offered to low-income community members include pre- and post-natal care; reproductive health services. Additionally, MFHS intends to offer on-site oral health assessments and primary care, ultrasounds, laboratory and pharmacy services with the overall goal to end stigma and financial hardship surrounding quality medical care. Its location near a public bus route and low-income housing is an added benefit as MFHS seeks to reduce transportation barriers and improve accessibility to maternal and family health care services.
