Axis celebrates new women's health clinic
by Janet Pelletier
Axis Community Health had a lot to celebrate last week as the nonprofit, which provides health care services to low-income residents, opened its new women's health clinic and reopened its newly-renovated adult medical clinic. Both are located at Axis's campus of medical suites located at 4361 Railroad Ave.
Axis CEO Sue Compton said the need for these services is greater now more than ever with the down economy. She said they're serving 400 new patients per month, which is double what it was before the recession. As part of the new changes, Axis plans to relocate the drug and alcohol services to Livermore once they locate a property to purchase. The women's clinic cost $350,000 and the renovation work at the adult clinic cost $100,000. Money came from the cities of Pleasanton and Livermore.

Posted by Jason, a member of the Foothill High School community, on Nov 12, 2009 at 11:02 am Kudos to Axis! Perhaps the story could be more complete and mention Kaiser, Palo Alto Medical Foundation, and County of Alameda played a major role in funding the women's and adult clinic.
