A branch clinic planted firmly in the community.
LP Medical Specialists decided to open a branch clinic in response to pronounced community need. While building a branch clinic facility was initially intended for future implementation, the community's immediate need prompted the group to establish the branch in a temporary facility. By leasing a vacated school building which was transformed into a medical clinic through the addition of demountable partitions, the group was able to expand its services and establish its image as a caring provider in the community--all while justifying expenditures that would not detract from the group's plans to build a future permanent facility.
