Marking the beginning of the transition of services from the Hornsby Bend clinic’s initial, temporary home off FM 969 (Webberville Road), a new medical facility and resource center in the Austin’s Colony neighborhood near Dailey Middle School will have its grand opening 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 21. The Hornsby Bend Health and Wellness Center – opened by Central Health to supply clinical, social, and support services for those living in Eastern Travis County’s medical deserts – will offer a number of services and community voices at its kickoff event. Medical and support specialists who’ll be working at HBHWC will administer Covid and flu vaccines and “practice” at the Teddy Bear Clinic. Local agencies and organizations will be on hand at the Community Resource Fair. And there will be performances by the cheer, stomp, and ballet folklorico groups from Gilbert Elementary in northern Hornsby Bend, plus live music from Rey Arteaga, a member of the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians. Hornsby Bend Health and Wellness Center is located at 3700 Gilbert Road, Hornsby Bend, TX 78725.
