Ground was broken on a new $42.5 million community health and literacy center in South Philadelphia that is seeking to become a national model of a public-private partnership providing healthcare, literacy and recreational services.
The three-story, 96,000-square-foot building is being developed in a joint venture between Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the city. The project is located on a block bounded by South Broad Street, South 15 th Street, Morris Avenue and Castle Avenue.
