Expanding Access, Growing Impact
School-Based Wellness Centers
In 2023, CCI Health Services broke ground on its largest site: a 48,000-square-foot facility on Greenbelt’s Medical Mile. One year later, the new building on Ora Glen Drive opened its doors, replacing CCI’s previous site at Franklin Park. With 64 exam rooms, 16 dental operatories, an onsite pharmacy, three waiting rooms, and dedicated spaces for administration and training, the scale and scope of this new hub are impressive.
Any parent or guardian of a school-age child knows how difficult it can be to find a convenient time for a doctor’s appointment. Work schedules, school hours, transportation, cost, and location create barriers that can delay or prevent children from getting necessary care. CCI’s School-Based Wellness Center Program is working to remove these obstacles by bringing healthcare directly to where students already are—at school.
A New Home for Care and Learning
A cornerstone of the new facility is its focus on education and workforce development. It will host training for all CCI staff and serve as the home of the CCI Family Medicine Residency Program. The building also houses the Capital Area Healthcare Career Center—a partnership with Employ Prince George’s—creating a robust pipeline for healthcare careers while expanding access to care in the local community.
Making Time for Health
Expanding Access Through Flexible Care In Maryland, where emergency room wait times are the longest in the country, the strain is exceptionally high due to workforce shortages, limited access to care, and a densely populated state. As primary care providers, we serve as the first line of defense against illness, mainly preventable ones. We help keep emergency rooms available for true emergencies by providing essential services like vaccinations, check-ups, and health education. To meet our community's needs, CCI expanded its services in 2024 to include extended hours. This update allows patients to schedule virtual appointments through our patient portal, with availability until 7 PM on weeknights and from 8 AM to 1 PM on Saturdays. Several CCI locations also offer in-person Saturday appointments during the same morning hours. CCI introduced these options midway through the year. It had a significant impact, resulting in nearly 10,000 virtual visits. The response confirms what we already knew: accessible, flexible care matters.
Together Supporting Our Youth and Families
In 2024, CCI staff returned to schools as part of this vital program, which expands access to affordable, convenient care for teens and their families while also helping reduce school absenteeism. In partnership with the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services, CCI provides primary care services in six county high schools. More than 12,000 students and their siblings—including those without insurance—stand to benefit. Services include well-child exams, sick visits, chronic disease management, vaccinations, and referrals to additional support services, such as counseling or food assistance. By meeting students where they are, CCI is helping ensure that every child has access to the care they need to thrive—inside and outside the classroom.
