(KNZA)--Holton Community Hospital's new rural health clinic is set to open Monday, January 4.
The two-story nearly 6,600-square-foot building was constructed adjacent to the current hospital, north of Holton, and is part of the hospital's $14.6-million expansion and renovation project.
A ground breaking ceremony was held in September for the project.
While the new clinic is opening, work continues on renovation of the existing hospital, which is set to wrap up in February.
Hospital CEO Carrie Saia, in a news release, said they have simply outgrown the space in the current 20-year-old hospital, and the expansion project will make it possible to recruit more new doctors and expand services.
The expansion project has been facilitated by a $14.6 million USDA Rural Development loan.
