Grant Regional’s newest clinic, its fourth, officially opened here in Fennimore on Tuesday, Jan. 2.
After a ground breaking ceremony this past April, the clinic’s construction came about quickly and on schedule.
An official ribbon cutting ceremony was held the following day on Wednesday, Jan. 3, which had an very good turnout for a cold, brisk January day.
The over 75 staff and community members who gathered on Wednesday for the grand opening of the new Grant Regional Health Center clinic were greeted by Lydia McLimans, Fennimore Community Development Manager, who stated that when the lot the clinic on stands on was acquired by the city, “it was the hope of Mayor Ryan Boebel that the lot would become a medical facility, and it has.”
Next to speak was Julie Lassa, USDA State Director for Wisconsin, who referred to the clinic’s opening as “investing in Fennimore.”
The new clinic was paid for in part through a USDA Rural Development Emergency Rural Healthcare Grant. Grant Regional Health Center received just over $530,000 for the project.
Tom Gildersleeve, Grant Regional Health Care (GRHC) Board Chair stated he was “amazed by how quickly the clinic itself came together, going from a ground breaking in April to it’s opening Jan. 2.
Tammy Chambers, GRHC Interim CEO issued a “thank you to all those involved in the completion of the clinic, including staff, Midwest Builders, the city and most importantly, the patients, who have quality health care close to home.”
