As part of its capital plan improvements, Community Healthcare Network (CHN) relocated and expanded its existing healthcare facility based in Jamaica, Queens. The new Tree of Life Healthcare Center is a result of extensive collaboration between Dattner Architects, CHN, Cornell University, the First Presbyterian Church of Jamaica, and public and private funding to accommodate CHN’s user-centered program anchoring the first two floors of a mixed-use residential and commercial building. The partnership serves to expand upon the church’s mission of community outreach, from affordable housing, job training, and nutrition to comprehensive healthcare and pharmacy services.
