Premier Community HealthCare has been awarded $375,000 through Pasco County’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program to expand Behavioral Health and Pharmacy services at its existing Zephyrhills location.
The funding will support renovations that add Behavioral Health treatment rooms, create space for additional therapists and expand the Premier Pharmacy footprint. The expanded space will strengthen Premier’s ability to connect patients with Behavioral Health, substance use disorder (SUD), opioid use disorder (OUD), and Pharmacy services in Zephyrhills.
Bringing greater capacity for these services together at one location can help patients more easily connect with the care, treatment and medications they need while remaining within Premier’s system of care.
“Access to care is about more than having services available. It’s about having the capacity to serve people when they need us,” said Joey Resnick, President and CEO of Premier Community HealthCare. “With Pasco County’s support, we’ll be able to create more space for behavioral health care, grow our team and strengthen pharmacy services for the Zephyrhills community.”
Premier is grateful to the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners for supporting this investment in expanded access to care and the health and well-being of Pasco County residents.
Additional information about the renovation will be shared as the project moves forward.
