CLYDE -- Get a look at the new Clyde Family Physicians Clinic during an open house Jan. 31.
The open house is scheduled for 8-10 a.m. Jan. 31 to show the community this soon-to-open comprehensive medical clinic. The Clyde Chamber of Commerce will hold a ribbon cutting at 8 a.m. and there will be refreshments available. The event is open to the public.
“We are excited this day has arrived,” said Austin Gillard, CEO of Clay County Medical Center. “Building a new comprehensive medical clinic in Clyde started as an idea two years ago. It has now become a reality, and we would like to thank the community for their support.”
Under construction since last summer at the northeast corner Washington and North High streets in Clyde, the new clinic is set to open to patients on Feb. 10.
Costing almost $1 million, the clinic features six large exam rooms, a modern procedure room, an in-house lab, spacious lobby, and administrative spaces. The clinic is staffed with four board-certified physicians and a nurse practitioner.
A fundraising campaign with a goal of $150,000 has paid for all new furnishings, fixtures and equipment in the clinic. There has been an outpouring of support for the project, including generous donations from the entire Clyde Family Physicians team, and campaign director Dan Thalmann is hoping to finish up the fundraising by the end of the month.
“The community has really stepped up and we’ve raise almost $137,000,” said Thalmann. “We’d love to see everyone in the community donate any amount so we can fill a donor recognition board with names of supporters in the community and hit our campaign goal."
Anyone interested in donating to the campaign can contact Thalmann at 785-747-6980 for more information.
