The Las Vegas Trail Neighborhood is getting a new health center thanks to a partnership between Cook Children’s Health Care System and JPS Health Network.

The medical systems partnered with the city and LVTRise to bring critical services to the healthcare desert in the 76116 and 76108 zip codes.

The 40,000-sqft Las Vegas Trail Neighborhood Health Center will be located on 3.7 acres of donated land on the corner of Calmont Avenue and Cherry Lane.

A first-of-its-kind collaboration, the clinic will provide services for both pediatric and adult patients, behavioral health, and social support with a food pantry, community education, and healthcare industry job training.

The two-story facility will serve as Cook Children’s ninth neighborhood health center and a JPS Medical Home. A storefront for the Fort Worth Police Department will also be housed in the facility.

Construction is expected to start later this year and conclude in late 2025.
