The Clay County Hospital Foundation (CCHF) has launched a fundraising campaign to raise $75,000 in support of the Riley Family Physicians clinic expansion project. Community members now have the opportunity to sponsor and name rooms inside the newly expanded clinic.

The expanded clinic will bring improved access to healthcare for residents in Riley and surrounding areas. The new space will include an additional provider office, six new exam rooms, expanded behavioral health services, and increased parking spaces. Construction work is expected to begin in August with a completion date set for January 2026.

“This is more than just bricks and mortar, this is about investing in the health of our community,” said Bryce Dolan, Director of the Clay County Hospital Foundation. “Your support not only helps us finish this important project, but it also ensures that future generations have access to excellent care close to home.”

Naming opportunities are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. All donations will go directly toward funding construction and furnishing costs for the expansion. This project is part of Clay County Medical Center’s continued commitment to rural health and patient-centered care.

“The growth we’ve seen at Riley Family Physicians in such a short amount of time has been remarkable,” said Austin Gillard, CEO of Clay County Medical Center. “In its first full year, the clinic served just over 1,700 patients. If current trends continue, we expect that number to surpass 4,000 by the end of 2025. This expansion is about meeting that demand and continuing to provide exceptional care to families in Riley and the surrounding area.”
