ST. LOUIS, MO – Family Care Health Centers (FCHC) is excited and proud to cut the ribbon, opening its new, 27,000 square-foot modern and state-of-the-art health care facility in St. Louis’ Dutchtown Community on Thursday, May 21, 2026, which is also FCHC’s 57th anniversary. FCHC’s new building is located at 3824 South Grand Boulevard, and its grand opening festivities begin that day at 12 p.m.
“We are delighted to welcome even more patients to Family Care Health Centers at our new Dutchtown facility, providing them with easy and close access to the medical and behavioral health services they need, right in the community,” says Aramide Ayorinde, FCHC’s CEO.
FCHC’s Dutchtown grand opening event is for invited industry and community partners, elected officials and FCHC staff. Media are welcome to attend the event.
The celebration will begin outdoors with words from FCHC’s leadership, along with statements celebrating FCHC’s new location from elected officials including Missouri State Senators Steve Roberts and Brian Williams, and a representative from Congressman Wesley Bell’s office. Attendees will then celebrate the ribbon cutting to officially open the new building. Tours of the new facility will also be provided.
The Dutchtown community was selected as the next neighborhood for FCHC due to the health needs of the community. FCHC’s presence in this neighborhood will provide a convenient and easily accessible community health center, further eliminating barriers to accessing care.
At this FCHC location, patients will be able to receive primary care, pediatrics, expanded behavioral health services, WIC and nutrition, while also having access to pharmacy services right onsite – providing a one-stop shop approach to holistic care. Patients receiving care at FCHC have access to all services available at its other locations, further expanding access to much needed healthcare.
“Providing even more person-centered counseling along with our standard medical care to additional people in the city of St. Louis improves our community’s overall wellbeing, and builds a stronger foundation for a person’s individual health,” says Ayorinde.
FCHC is currently scheduling patients for appointments at its new office, with official visits to formally begin on Tuesday, May 26, 2026.
