The total cost of the project is $21 million. Of that, Congressional Spending covers $2.5 million, New Market Tax Credits cover $3.9 million, Raised Funds & Reserves covers $7.9 million, and $6.8 million must still be raised. We need your help! Every capital project donation makes a difference in the lives of thousands of patients.

The new address is 526 29 ½ Road, just north of the Mesa County Workforce Center and the Health and Human Services building. This new location offers many benefits:

• Easy access off of North Avenue, close to the I-70 Business Loop
  
• Near a campus with an array of employment, training and other human services
  
• Plenty of parking and easy GVT bus stop access
  
• Drive-thru pharmacy for patients AND the public
  

Since 1988, Marillac’s main clinic (next to St. Mary’s) has been the hub of our operations. However, due to challenges with both the capacity and the location itself, we will be combining services into this one larger location. Once the new clinic opens, the location by St. Mary’s Hospital will close and patients will come to the new clinic for their care. All other locations will remain open.

As a 501(c)3 non-profit, we are responsible for raising all of the money needed for the new site through grants, private donations from the community, and other funding. We can finance what we don’t raise now, but there are associated costs with that and we’re committed to stewarding our income to the maximum benefit of our patients and community.

According to Capital Link (2020), MarillacHealth’s health care operations provide 81 jobs directly, an additional 70 jobs in the community, and contributes at least $20.4 million in economic activity each year. New clinic sites always mean more jobs for Marillac and Mesa County, and we expect to add approximately 20 new employees at our new clinic.

Marillac has entered this project strategically, with the utmost thought and consideration for future sustainability. Although there will be costs moving forward, many of these are offset by keeping funds that would normally be applied to leasing our 6th Street building and the Eligibility Annex on Bookcliff Avenue. Patient revenue will increase with our patient base, and we continue to develop and retain funding streams.
