No obstante, demasiada gente está siendo víctima de las grietas del sistema de salud y no está recibiendo el cuidado de salud de buena calidad que merece”, dijo Jackson. “Desde 1972, los Centros de Salud Tía Martha’s ha demostrado su eficiencia y eficacia en la identificación de estas falencias del servicios de cuidado de salud brindando servicios de buena calidad y la ejecución de programas para llenar esos vacíos los, y sirviendo como la última línea de defensa para lo más necesitados porque de lo contrario se quedarían sin cuidados básicos de salud”. De acuerdo a Raul Garza, Aunt Martha‟s Chief Executive Officer, el plan preliminario para este centro pedriático se implementará en unos 20,000 pies cuadrados con facilidades como cuidado médico pediátrico, cuidado y servicio de salud dental, un Centro de Bienestar con un gimnasio, un área de juego para niños, oficinas administrativas y espacio para oficinas administrativas de agencias de salud. Garza agradeció los esfuerzos del congresista Jackson por asegurar los fondos para Aunt Martha‟s y a la comunidad de Chicago Heights y comunidades vecinas que se beneficiarán de este centro de salud para niños. “Fue su liderazgo, su convicción y su esmero para sus constituyentes que se ganó esta batalla en nuestro favor”, dijo Garza. “A nombre de la junta directiva de Los Centros Médicos Tía Martha’s, nuestro personal y los millares de residentes que desempeñamos servicios en el Distrito 2, le agradezco por su ayuda y compromiso continuo a nuestra causa”. ENGLISH VERSION Congressman Jackson, Aunt Martha’s announce plans for pediatric center in Chicago Heights. Olympia Fields-based nonprofit receives $11.8 million in federal stimulus funding. CHICAGO HEIGHTS, IL – U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-2nd) and State Sen. Toi Hutchinson (D-Olympia Fields) joined representatives from Aunt Martha‟s Youth Service Center on Thursday to announce the Olympia Fields-based nonprofit organization‟s plans to build a $5.9 million Pediatric Health and Community Wellness Center in south suburban Chicago Heights. “I believe that every American is entitled, as a birthright, to high quality health care. Nonetheless, too many people are falling through the cracks and not receiving the care they need and deserve,” Jackson said. “Since 1972, Aunt Martha‟s has demonstrated its effectiveness and efficiency in identifying these service gaps, implementing programs to fill them, and serving as a last line of defense‟ for the least among us who otherwise would go uncared for.” According to Raul Garza, Aunt Martha‟s Chief Executive Officer, the preliminary plans for the pediatric center call for a 20,000 sq. ft. facility that will house: pediatric medical, dental and behavioral health services; a Wellness Center with a fitness room; a pediatric play area; case management offices and office space for the agency‟s health care administrative staff. Garza credited Jackson for his efforts to secure the funding for Aunt Martha‟s and the medically underserved residents of Chicago Heights and its neighboring communities. “It was your leadership, your conviction and your dedication to your constituents that tilted this battle in our favor,” Garza said. “On behalf of Aunt Martha‟s Board of Directors, our staff and the thousands of people we serve in Illinois‟ 2nd District, I thank you for your continued support and commitment to our cause.” The project – including construction and the health center‟s on-going operation – is expected to create the equivalent of more than 29 full-time jobs; and Aunt Martha‟s expects to serve more than 9,400 patients in the center‟s first year of operation. Garza discussed the pediatric center in the context of his organization‟s vision, in which “the patient sits at the center of an integrated spectrum of health care and social services.” “It is a vision that represents community health centers not as they are elsewhere, but the as they could be everywhere, and as they will soon be in Chicago Heights,” said Garza. Aunt Martha‟s plans to begin building the new facility, which will be located on a site adjacent to its Women‟s Health Center on Joe Orr Road, later this summer. It is targeted to open in the fall of 2011. Aunt Martha´s Youth Service Center is a private, not-for-profit agency providing complete health care and social services for family members of all ages in underserved communities across Illinois. Established in 1972, Aunt Martha´s offers services in 17 counties throughout Illinois and reaches more than 80,000 Illinois residents annually. The agency is state licensed to provide child welfare, substance abuse treatment and child care services. Photo Caption: Raul Garza, Aunt Martha‟s Chief Executive Officer.
