SAN DIEGO -- A nonprofit that provides help to the uninsured immigrant and refugee community in San Diego plans to build a $15 million medical center in City Heights, it was reported Tuesday.

Medical clinic La Maestra, which offers aid in Spanish, Somali and 17 other languages, has been operating out of ramshackle City Heights bungalows along Fairmount Avenue since 1990, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Funding for the new 30,000-square-foot facility, also on Fairmount Avenue, is coming from a $6 million private bond and about $4 million in privately donated money, the Union-Tribune reported.

The charity still needs to raise at least $5 million, but it expects to break ground in May and open in December 2008, according to the newspaper.

As many as 98 percent of La Maestra's clients are uninsured and receive low-cost care. The nonprofit offers services that include immunizations, cancer screening and mental health counseling.
