WOONSOCKET – Thundermist Health Center unveiled its 50,000-square-foot, $6 million addition of new patient-care space at 450 Clinton St. Sept. 28, the culmination of more than two years of construction on a project that provides room to accommodate care provided to a growing number of patients.
The project doubles patient-care space, increases capacity and implements modern design features to improve the patient experience, said Dr. Sapna Chowdhry, medical director.
The center cares for more than 20,000 patients each year and employs nearly 300 people.
The patient count the center cares for has increased 30 percent over the last decade, Chowdhry said.
The project was supported in part by $1 million in Health Resources and Services Administration infrastructure funding. The United Way provided $300,000 to support the enhancement and expansion of services. The Champlin Foundation provided $230,000 to make improvements to the parking lot and $80,000 for medical equipment.
