Pennsylvania State Representative Vanessa Lowery Brown has come to be a passionate advocate for her constituents when it comes to navigating the funding process at the state level. She successfully delivered $2 million in economic development funds to key projects in her Philadelphia legislative district. Of that, $1 million is being appropriated to expand the Haddington Health Center, presently located at 5619 Vine Street in West Philadelphia. AHAdams&Company is proud to be the Architect for the New Haddington Health Center to be located at 52nd and Haverford Avenue in West Philadelphia. AHAdams&Company has been working closely with Spectrum Health Services, Inc., a nonprofit community health agency providing comprehensive primary care health services, health education, behavioral health, and social services to residents in West Philadelphia. The increased capacity to provide programs and services in the New Haddington Health Center site will enable Spectrum Health to serve over 26,000 patients and provide over 60,000 visits by the end of year 2014 in a more productive, environmentally responsible, and patient-centered environment. Spectrum Health Services’ Haddington Health Center has been an anchor institution in West Philadelphia for 26 years.
