Expected to open in 2027, the Orange Blossom Trail location will offer a convenient, one-stop destination for whole-person care.

ORLANDO, FL, UNITED STATES, October 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hope & Help broke ground October 6 on its new location at 7750 S. Orange Blossom Trail, marking an expansion designed to bring medical care, mental health services, and patient support together under one roof. The center is expected to open in 2027.

Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings, City of Orlando District 5 Commissioner Shan Rose, Florida State Representative Rita Harris, Florida State Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith, and Florida State Representative and Orlando mayoral candidate Anna V. Eskamani joined Hope & Help leadership, community partners, and supporters for the ceremony.

The new center will expand access to care beyond HIV services, creating a one-stop space where patients can address their physical and mental health needs and connect with support resources. Bringing these services together is intended to make navigating care easier and help patients receive more coordinated support.

Hope & Help selected the site for its central location within Central Florida and proximity to bus stops, making it more convenient for patients, including those who rely on public transportation. Accessibility is a key part of the organization’s goal to reduce barriers to care.

“Getting care should not mean traveling to several different places or struggling to find the support you need,” said Thresa Giles, CEO of Hope & Help. “This new center will bring services together in an accessible location, helping us care for the whole person and better serve our community.”

The expansion builds on Hope & Help’s longstanding work in HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and case management, while supporting its broader commitment to comprehensive, stigma-free healthcare.

Additional details about the center’s opening and available services will be announced as the project progresses.
