PLANS AFOOT FOR SOMERVILLE MEDICAL CLINIC
Architects are now working on designs for a new, expanded clinic in Somerville.
CHI St. Joseph Health Burleson Hospital is overseeing the expansion on land off Highway 36 on the corner of 11th street.
Burleson County Hospital District President Kirk Chapman says the clinic will house three entities: the St. Joseph’s Clinic, a Burleson Health Resource Center, and an EMS station, all in one building.
Chapman hopes the new clinic would attract a physician to Somerville, which currently only has a physician's assistant. The new clinic would also allow for a larger staff to meet the needs of the growing community.
According to Chapman, the clinic would be operated by Health Point, who already operates a clinic in Caldwell.
It is not known when the design will be completed, or when construction will begin.
