The finishing touches have been made, and as soon as you set foot inside, you['ll notice the difference. After almost a year 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 contribution 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 the Medina 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.
