A nonprofit pharmacy and offices for medical specialists and behavioral health and job development services could be coming to a former Bank of America building in North Side.

Friday, Feb. 24, a nonprofit will launch its $2.5 million campaign to convert the building at 1307 E. Brookland Park Boulevard into the Six Points Health Hub.

Augusta J. Hite, founder and volunteer president of the HandUp Community Resource Center, said the project will be undertaken using the same approach he has followed since 2016 when he started operations — partnerships, collaboration and community support.

“We are not out to re-invent the wheel,” said Mr. Hite, 49, who has spent his career serving adults and youths with behavioral health challenges.

He said that HandUp is working with the Capital Area Health Network, which already runs a primary care clinic nearby, to develop space for medical specialists to see patients with brain, heart, lung, stomach and other ailments.

Mr. Hite also said HandUp also will collaborate with Commonshare, an independent pharmacy that specializes in serving low-income residents.

Other partners include the JT Pharmacy Training Program and the Foundation for Family & Community Healing, he said, adding that HandUp also is working with Hanbury architect Salas O’Brien and Springpoint Structural.

The building’s redevelopent, including a new second floor to add more space, is a product of community engagement sessions. More sessions are planned at the site to keep residents informed. They are scheduled for 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, March 2, and 10a.m. to noon and 1 to 3p.m. Saturday, March 4.

Bank of America donated the building to the Maggie L. Walker Community Land Trust, which held a competition and awarded HandUp the building in 2001. HandUp now has two years to raise the money and complete the project, Mr. Hite said.

HandUp now operates a food pantry and resource center at 6301 Old Warwick Road where it connects people to services ranging from securing furniture to job training. HandUp also operates the HandUp Vetlink Veterans Service Center, 437 E. Belt Blvd., to connect homeless veterans with housing and other services.
