CCMC Release

Clay County Medical Center (CCMC) is pleased to provide updates on the progress of its ongoing construction project, designed to expand and improve its facilities.

The construction of the new addition to Clay Center Family Physicians (CCFP) has reached
significant milestones. Exterior framing is well underway, establishing the structural framework for
the expansion. The installation of exterior sheathing is set to begin soon, while wood blocking in
window openings and parapet areas is being prepared to support the upcoming roofing installation.
In the weeks ahead, the focus will shift to enclosing the building, marking a critical step toward
preparing for interior work. Roofing and exterior weatherproofing will also commence, ensuring the
structure is sealed for further progress. Temporary walls will be installed in the existing reception
area to connect the new addition to the current building, and interior framing for the new spaces will
begin soon.

In addition to the building addition, significant progress has been made on improving accessibility at
the Emergency Department entrance. Foundations for a new ADA-compliant ramp have been formed
and poured, laying the groundwork for a more inclusive and convenient entryway. The next phase
will focus on completing the sidewalks and the ADA ramp, further enhancing accessibility for all
patients and visitors.

“We are thrilled to see our vision for these facility upgrades coming to life,” said Austin Gillard, CEO
of Clay County Medical Center. “These projects not only allow us to better serve our patients today
but also ensure we’re equipped to meet the evolving needs of our community for years to come. We
appreciate the community’s continued support and patience during this exciting period of growth.”
