Bloomfield-Garfield Family Health Center

 

The Bloomfield/Garfield Family Health Center was established in 1984 and cares for over 10,000 patients annually. Its present case mix is about 20 percent pediatrics and adolescents, 72 percent adults, and 8 percent geriatrics.

This facility has ten exam rooms, an on-site lab, a radiology suite, a well-lit, very pleasant reception area, a staff lounge, two procedure rooms, a precepting/conference area, and off-street parking. Residents helped design this facility for improved ambiance, communication, and efficiency. There has been steady growth since a 2008 relocation to a spacious and environmentally friendly facility.

Bloomfield/Garfield Family Health Center is the home base for our innovative School Health Program, which provides comprehensive physicals, health screening, and health education to local elementary schools. Bloomfield/Garfield and nearby East Liberty are largely underserved inner-city communities with approximately 38,800 residents. This area is home to many single-parent families, a large African-American population, and a growing Vietnamese and international community. Patients also reside in adjoining communities including the university-dominated Oakland area.

The Bloomfield Garfield Family Health Center was selected as Pennsylvania’s 2019 HPV Vaccine Is Cancer Prevention Champion! Led in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Association of American Cancer Institutes, and the American Cancer Society, the HPV Vaccine Is Cancer Prevention Champion Award Program recognizes clinicians, clinics, practices, groups, and health systems that are going above and beyond to foster HPV vaccination in their community.
