After almost ayear
of planning, design and construction, we’re pleased
to announce the completion of our expanded Medical
Clinic of Devine at 1250 State Highway 173 N. The clinic
is located across from the Devine High School campus.
“This project will help us meet the growing needs of
Devine-area residents we serve,” says Janice Simons, CEO.
“We look forward to offering expanded medical services
close to home and enhancing the excellent level of care
our experts provide.”
NEW FEATURES
From patient comforts to more
convenient parking spaces, the new features of the
expanded facility bring many benefits for patients, their
families and the medical staff. Among them:
●
●
Additional space in the waiting room.
●
●
Four new exam rooms—providing the clinic with
10 total exam rooms.
●
●
A new laboratory.
●
●
Additional storage space for patient health records.
●
●
Easy parking near the main entrance with more spaces
for patients and visitors.
The Devine clinic expansion also features renovations
to the existing clinic spaces, an expanded lobby with
aesthetically pleasing decor, and other comforts and
amenities.
“Through this addition, it is our hope to further
expand the primary and specialty care provided through
this clinic. It wouldn’t be possible without the generous
financial contributions and input we received from our
community,” says Simons, adding, “Thank you!”
FUNDING THE PROJECT
In June 2014, a grant for $75,000 was
approved by the Texas Department of Agriculture to expand
the space. This grant was augmented by a $25,000 donation
from theMedina Healthcare Fund, a 501(c)(3) that supports
the mission of the Medina Healthcare System.
Medina Healthcare System secured the remaining
funds to begin construction. Then on July 1, 2015, Medina
Electric Cooperative awarded a $2,000 grant to Medina
Healthcare System to provide four patient exam tables
for the new exam rooms.
