The former North Presbyterian Church, which served the community since 1855, has been transformed into the Heart of Northside. The 47,000 square foot property is being transformed into a community health center and event space with three goals:

– improve access to fresh produce by growing it on site
– improve health literacy through classes and individual counseling
– improve community health through listening and outreach

At the heart of this mission is a rooftop garden that is currently in the design and fundraising stages of development. The organic produce grown on the roof will be provided to the community in a way to improve access, health, and support local businesses. The goal is to create a new model for urban health that utilizes all of its space and resources.

Events held at the historic venue will continue the tradition of bringing the community together. To date, the building has hosted weddings, birthday celebrations, health fairs, civic education events, the Northside Record Fair, and the Northside Farmers’ Market. Several spaces and spatial configurations are available for rent.

In addition to the practice of cardiologist Dr. Florence Rothenberg, several other specialized practitioners rent space in the facility.
