DIGroup Architecture (DIG), a certified MBE/DBE/SBE (Medium, Disadvantaged, Small Business Enterprise) firm, is expanding its community health center reach to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, addressing critical healthcare access gaps in the city. With over 31 million Americans relying on Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in 2022, DIG is leveraging its expertise to create innovative facilities for underserved communities in the Greater Philadelphia area.
DIG has completed 13 FQHCs across New Jersey and New York City over the past decade. The firm navigates the entire FQHC project life cycle, from pre-planning to project management, working with public agencies, non- and for-profit organizations, and community leaders.
“FQHCs provide primary care, specialty treatment, and preventive care to low-income and uninsured individuals,” said Vince Myers, DIG president. “Efficient, functional, and patient-centered facilities are increasingly important, and demand is surging.”
DIG’s Architecture for Change approach delivers world-class designs to underserved communities, revitalizing neighborhoods through architecture. Recent projects include a custom-designed telemedicine office hub for Zufall Health and nine FQHC assignments for Urban Health Plan, Inc.
In Philadelphia, DIG aims to address healthcare disparities through collaboration with community partners, ensuring facilities are functional, sustainable, and responsive to evolving community needs.
