Groundbreaking held for new Stockton Medical Clinic


A new medical clinic for the city of Stockton is soon to become a reality. A formal groundbreaking was held on January 19, 2011 at the new site located on the 400 block of Main. Weather permitting, the clinic is slated to be finished in the fall of 2011.


The ultimate goal of the clinic is to provide better access to health care for the residents in the northern part of the county. "Community members and hospital administration and staff saw a need to build a new clinic where people had the opportunity to receive the care they deserve close to home" said Kathy Ramsay, director of the Rooks County Healthcare Foundation. The Foundation will be responsible for maintenance of the building and is currently raising the money for construction.


The foundation has collected a total of about $834,000 for the project and is continuing its efforts.
