The County directly funded a lease for a PCAN Clinic managed by Community Health Centers, Inc. (CHC) until it expired December 31, 2016. At that time, Community Health Centers, Inc. relocated to 840 Mercy Drive, Orlando, Florida 32808, and assumed responsibility for the lease agreement. At that time, the Health Services Department entered into a lease assistance agreement to provide funding to CHC to support healthcare activities at this location. This new agreement will continue our support for CHC’s healthcare activities at their Pine Hills location at the same amount as the previous agreement.
