The City’s East Central Neighborhood Health Center is located at 1180 E. Main Street and access to the center and parking is shared with the Central Community House. There has been an issue with limited parking to support the health center since its opening and with the continued growth of patients accessing health care services at East Central, the lack of adequate parking has become a significant issue negatively impacting the operation of the health center.
