New Dove Springs health center makes progress

Austin Public Health has given an update on the new Dove Springs Public Health Center, which is expected to be completed this fall. As of this month, the building’s exterior has been complete, including the installation of solar panels, and the power has been turned on, allowing for interior work to move forward. A call for community artwork to be displayed at the clinic was sent out earlier this year, with a deadline of July 10. When complete, the bond-funded facility will feature a neighborhood center, food pantry, child care, and Women, Infants and Children and immunization programs.
