Annie Reyes of Merizo said the Southern Regional Community Health Center has been a lifesaver for her family for decades.
“They’re good people; they do a good job here,” she said yesterday in the waiting room of the Department of Public Health and Social Services center in Inarajan after a doctor’s visit.
Not only are the staff friendly and competent, it saves the family from a long — and expensive — drive to see a doctor, added her husband, Joe Reyes.
More families will be able to be seen at the health center daily after an expansion project breaks ground next week.
An infusion of $718,000 through President Obama’s economic stimulus plan, announced, will help fund the expansion, said Dr. Tony Stupski, medical director and acting administrator for Public Health’s community medical centers in Inarajan and Dededo.
The stimulus plan, signed into law in February, set aside $1.5 billion to fund construction, renovation and equipment purchases at community health centers around the nation. More Here EMR Stimulus Package
