The Taylor County Health Center is a new public health facility that consolidates healthcare services previously distributed among several locations throughout the city. The project allows the Health Department to concentrate on daily client services rather than a staggered schedule. The project encloses 20,760 sq. ft. of formerly vacant land and is located near other government services on a public transportation line.

The Center is the first new construction in Abilene’s downtown in many years and is expected to positively impact surrounding property values, enhance the potential for further development and contribute to a richer mix of private/public sector land uses within the central business district. The facility will redirect 50,300 clients annually and 50 staff persons daily to the area, further promoting redevelopment.
