Metro Inclusive Health, CAN Community Health and community leaders closed out Pride Month June 30 at the German American Club, committing to double inclusive services in Tampa Bay by 2021.

The health partners first announced their Tampa expansion in 2019. They acquired the historic Ybor City venue to transform it into a 30,000-square-foot health and community center, breaking ground on the project that year.

“As a local organization, we have grown alongside Tampa Bay by serving the community’s holistic health needs,” Metro Inclusive Health CEO Lorraine Langlois shared at the time. “Being able to restore and modernize this beautiful piece of local history for the community while expanding our impact fits right in line with our organizational mission.”

“CAN and Metro started their partnership in 2013, building what has become a model for us in other communities across Florida, the east coast and Puerto Rico,” CAN Community Health CEO Rick Carlisle added. “This investment in our community will continue to transform modern healthcare services for all in the Tampa Bay area.”
