Grace Cottage will unveil plans for a new primary care clinic building at Grace Cottage at a public forum on Wednesday, May 10, at 5 p.m., at the Townshend Town Hall. All are welcome.
The current clinic operates out of two adjoining houses built in the 1850s. With more than 31,000 patient visits annually (up from 20,000 in 2018), it is essential that Grace Cottage moves forward with this project in order to meet the current needs of the community and allow for future growth.
During the past year, Grace Cottage has been working diligently on what the Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation (BDCC) and Bennington County Regional Commission (BCRC) have named a "Vital Project" for the region.
Grace Cottage is embarking on a $20 million capital campaign for the construction of the new clinic building adjacent to the existing Grace Cottage Family Health. This project, fulfilling a long-held dream, has been initiated by generous donors who have pledged $5 million.
Extensive feedback from employees who work in the clinic has been incorporated into the interior plan. Final exterior and interior designs have been completed for this new building, and these will be shared with community members at the May 10 event.
