Community Based Clinics Model

Community based healthcare takes a construction leap forward…Wenston DeSue

$1.2 billion JPS Health Network project to start with community-based clinics

The $1.2 billion project to redesign the Tarrant County’s public hospital network inched closer to construction Thursday, when county commissioners heard the first design and construction proposals that will begin the years-long project. The massive overhaul of the JPS Health Network will begin with one relatively small project: The design and construction of a medical home. Medical homes refer to a model of primary health care where patients can get everything they need in one location, from an annual check-up with their doctor or a visit with a social worker to a pharmacy where they can pick up their prescriptions. Ultimately, the hospital plans to build four such medical homes throughout the county to increase access to regular, preventative care outside of the main hospital campus in Fort Worth’s medical district. On Thursday, commissioners heard proposals for the first of these homes, which will be in far southwest Fort Worth.

Commissioners heard proposals from Byrne Construction Services, Post L Group, and SBL Architecture; Turner Construction Company, Potere Construction, and Bennett Partners; Azteca Enterprises and KAI Enterprises; and Whiting-Turner Contracting Company and Corgan. Commissioners will rate the four proposals and then consult with hospital leaders before making a final decision on which groups to award the project. County administrator G. K. Maenius said commissioners would likely award the project in April, and construction on the first building is expected to begin later this year.
