GCCCA Partners with Genesis Family Health to Reopen Site Location
[Garden City, KS] May 3, 2022 -- Garden City Career Connection Academy (GCCCA) has partnered with Genesis Family Health
to reopen the GCCCA East Campus site, located at 4101 E US 50, Lot 466, in the East
Garden Village (EGV) neighborhood to provide educational services as well as preventative
health care and referrals. 
The East Garden Village neighborhood, with an approximate population of 3,000 residents--nearly 10% of Garden City's population--is a prime location for educational as well as health care services. This site, previously closed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will now offer classes including General Equivalency Diploma (GED), English Language Acquisition (ELA), and citizenship. Services through Genesis Family Health will include KanCare assistance, case management, food assistance, Healthy Heart blood pressure checks, and diabetes education.
"I am thrilled to be able to reopen GCCCA's East Campus location for classes and I'm particularly pleased to be partnering with Genesis Family Health to help provide a walk-in clinic. I think this is a win-win for everyone, especially those residents of East Garden Village who will now have educational and health services available to them all within walking distance from their homes," said Cary Conley, Director of Adult Education and Literacy at the Career Connections Academy.
Geovannie Gone, Chief Administrative Officer for Genesis Family Health, stated, "The mission of Genesis Family Health is 'Quality Healthcare for Everyone' We are committed to finding innovative ways to address healthcare gaps and social determinants of health in an effective way. It is our honor to partner with the GCCC Career Connection Academy to bring to the community social service and health access and education all in one place, from learning English and GED classes to assisting with food insecurity, chronic disease management, notary services, translations, and other health related education. This center will be KEY to supporting all the families that live at East Garden Village, surrounding neighborhoods and nearby schools. Genesis Family Health is excited for this new Partnership with the GCCCA."
A ribbon cutting will be held Friday, May 20th, at 11 AM to celebrate the reopening of this site.
