Build Health With Us…
The Chautauqua Center (TCC)is excited to break ground on a new state-of-the-art
facility in Dunkirk, NY. This capital campaign seeks $2M to bridge the funding gap for
the project that is anticipated to be completed Spring 2021.
The journey began in 2010, when the Health Foundation of
Western and Central New York determined that Chautauqua Chautauqua County is federally

In 2011, local stakeholders convened to create the
Chautauqua 20/20 Comprehensive Plan under the
leadership of the County Executive Greg Edwards. The plan announced strategies to maximize the
region’s untapped potential and includes healthcare priorities such as the creation of an FQHC,
implementation of incentives to attract medical professionals to the area, and the establishment of
health and wellness corridors in Dunkirk and Jamestown.

development, quality of life and stability of our region.
The Community Health Care Association of New York State provides an annual report documenting
TCC’s economic impact and how the FQHC contributes to Chautauqua County’s economy. The most
recent figures from 2018 reveal that TCC generated $11,453,137 for the local economy. $7,592,079
resulted from direct spending while $3,861,058 was attributed to community spending.
The report also shows that:
• 74% of our patients are below the poverty line
• 17% of our patients are Spanish speaking
• 36% of our patients are children
Community Impact
Young professionals consider a community’s education and healthcare system as top indicators when
deciding where to relocate. Our new clinic site in Dunkirk will be an asset to the community at large by
offering quality healthcare in a modern setting and will further enhance Chautauqua County’s offerings
for young families, giving people another great reason to relocate or stay in our area.
The FQHC adds to the sustainability of the local health system through referrals and partnership with
other organizations. TCC refers lab work, x rays, specialists and other ancillary services to the local
hospitals and community-based health organizations for patients that may not have had access to care
in the past.

Job Creation, Physician Recruitment and
Retention
Thousands of locals have come to rely on TCC’s affordable health services that were once out of reach
due to a variety of obstacles including a lack of medical professionals serving our region. The FQHC is
always accepting new patients, takes walk-ins and offers same day appointments for most services.
TCC has grown to include over 150 employees countywide.
With a staff of more than 150 We currently have 41 providers that serve over 10,000
employees and 41 providers, patients annually, including medical doctors, dentists,
TCC has become one of the psychiatrists, nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
largest healthcare employers in Some providers have come to TCC from outside the area,
while some were practicing in the region and chose to stay
the Chautauqua region due to the stability and incentives offered by the FQHC. In
2020, we recruited providers from Arkansas, Georgia,
Missouri, Texas and Utah. In addition, several local
“homegrown” physicians have returned to the area upon completing a residency in another state.
Setting us apart from other providers in the county, each practice site is recognized as an access point to
receive loan repayment incentives from the National Health Service Corps. This allows a variety of
licensed clinicians and mid-level health professionals to receive substantial loan forgiveness benefits in
exchange for a commitment of service to TCC. In addition to our loan repayment incentives, the modern
amenities that will be available at the new Dunkirk location will have a major impact on our ability to
recruit and retain providers.
Projected Growth
Based on current figures, TCC officials predict that by 2022:
• The number of employees will grow to 192
• The number of patients served will grow to 30,784

Dunkirk Site: Opening Spring 2021

As patient numbers grow, so has the urgency for a new site in Dunkirk where all services can be
delivered under one roof. The new facility in Dunkirk will serve as a one stop shop that allows for
improved communication among providers, streamlined services and greater access to care. This
integrated care model sets TCC apart and allows for a team-based approach to address a wider range of
patient needs during a single visit.
At the new clinic, patients will be greeted by bilingual staff in a

Other support services include care coordination, facilitation of referrals and transportation, medical
translation, and assistance with choosing and enrolling in health insurance enrollment through the NYS
health marketplace.
Similar to the new clinic in Jamestown that opened in 2019, the Dunkirk site is modern and industrial,
and will be located within a corridor of other health services in the downtown core. It will be built on
land that is currently vacant, and compliment the health care offerings by neighboring businesses such
as Chautauqua Physical and Occupational Therapy and GLPP Lakeshore Orthopedic Group, PC.

Dunkirk Site Budget
TCC officials have already raised a significant amount of the funds needed for the $6M project. In August
2019, TCC received a $3M grant from the Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program from
the New York State Department of Health to support the project. In September 2020, we received a
$1M grant through Federal Emergency Management Agency for the project.
We are reaching out to individual donors and community stakeholders to bridge the $2M funding gap
for the project. A complete list of sponsorship and recognition levels is included at the end of this
booklet.
