Pillars – A Campaign for Esperanza<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, \u201cSurely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.\u201d He was afraid and said, \u201cHow awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.\u201d So early in the morning Jacob took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a\u00a0pillar\u00a0<\/strong>and poured oil on the top of it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0– Genesis 28:17b<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Introducing the Pillars Campaign<\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n
\n

Esperanza Health Center has provided primary medical, dental, and behavioral health care in Kensington since December of 2007. During these years,\u00a0thousands<\/em>\u00a0have come through our doors for care, restoration, and hope\u2014esperanza!<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Motivated by\u00a0Christian faith, we work from the perspective of God\u2019s love and value for each patient. We are well acquainted with the despair in this community, yet are more intimately involved in healing and hope. Over time, we have added services and deepened our relationships in Kensington. We can proclaim, \u201cHow awesome is this place!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/div>\n
In November 2016, we purchased the former Kensington Trust Company building, a magnificent architectural structure at the corner of Kensington & Allegheny Avenues and down the street from our current site. Renovation plans are underway to allow for the expansion of our medical services by 33 percent (addition of two medical hubs) and dental services, also by 33 percent (adding two operatories). Our behavioral health department will expand to address the substance abuse problems in the area. A second location of the Esperanza Caf\u00e9 will open here offering healthy food options\u2014a great need in this designated \u201cfood desert.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/div>\n

An empty lot bordering H Street\u00a0behind the bank building had once been the site of a warehouse that burned to the ground in June of 2007, devastating the community. But the neighbors rallied and have cared for and protected this space for 10 years. We have secured this lot from the City of Philadelphia to build a community health & wellness center with parking. The neighbors are eager to have a place with healthy recreation options to enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n

The health & wellness center will provide services for and with the community.\u00a0<\/strong>Those being considered include:<\/span><\/p>\n
