The Trinity Nursing Center for Child Health closed on Sept. 30, 2009.

The clinic started in 2006 in collaboration with Trinity United Methodist Church.

Open 20 hours a week, the clinic provided pediatric health care for a total of 705 patients over the past three years. However, the high cost of providing this care over the long term has caused the Purdue School of Nursing to consider other options.

The Riggs Community Health Center and the North Central Nursing Clinics Inc.'s two sites at Delphi and Monon are available and have the capacity to meet the needs of the Trinity patients. Trinity patients will be able to choose from these community health centers or other available providers for their health-care needs.

Mental health services provided at the Trinity site will continue to be available in Tippecanoe County through a new collaboration between the School of Nursing and the Riggs Community Health Center. Mental health services will also be available at Delphi. Pediatric nurse practitioner Jennifer Coddington, who served as the coordinator of the Trinity Center, will see patients at Delphi on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
