Florida Atlantic University and Quantum Foundation are preparing to open a free clinic next year at Forest Park Elementary School in Boynton Beach.
The FAU Community Wellness Center at Forest Park will cover 2,300 square feet and will offer immunizations, screening for diabetes and high blood pressure and treatment for common ailments such as colds and ear infections.
Open to the public, the clinic is Palm Beach County’s second single clinic operated by Quantum and the Boca Raton college. The first center is next to West Gate Elementary School in West Palm Beach. The Boynton center will be twice the size of the first one.
The building will cost $280,000 and is expected to begin construction as early as January 2007. The board of Quantum plans to open the clinic by September.
The city also plans to rebuild the Boynton Beach school next year, although the clinic will not interfere with the school’s construction’s plans.
