Clay County Medical Center (CCMC) provided an update 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.
