Cambridge Savings Bank Supports the Expansion of Fair Haven Community Health Care with Loans Totaling Over $26 Million
Summary
This lending package will be used to renovate an existing facility and build a new comprehensive health clinic, thus enabling Fair Haven CHC to service an additional 20,000 annual visits and increasing its capacity by 45 percent. "We are committed to partnering with organizations that employ a similar ethos and can operate as an extension of our team," said Dr. Suzanne Lagarde, CEO at Fair Haven Community Health Care. Set to open in spring of 2025, the new facility will enable Fair Haven CHC to offer enhanced services with 26 exam rooms dedicated to medical, behavioral health, and substance misuse care. Fair Haven CHC has plans to open more local school-based health centers, participate in initiatives that will foster affordable housing opportunities, and improve infrastructure in the surrounding communities. With a small group of dedicated nurses, doctors, students, and neighborhood volunteers, the "Fair Haven Clinic" was able to serve adults and children on a walk-in basis for minor ailments, immunizations, and family planning services.
