McMillen Health provides more than 250 education programs on a variety of health-related topics to K-12 students and adults at its facility, on-site and via distance learning.
CEO Nicole Fairchild says the expansion is still in the early phases but could cost between $10 million to $15 million.
“Today, we have 34 staff members, and we are in a building that was meant to house 15 staff total,” she said. “So, I have crammed 34 staff members into the building; it’s 16,000 square feet. We have teaching theaters, where we teach our programs to youth and those coming in, and we have had to convert two of those spaces now for staff use and then multipurpose room.”
McMillen Health is also conducting a survey with community members who would not be able to attend any of the listening sessions, and Fairchild said the early responses have been very positive
