Stokes may re-open health clinic soon

DANBURY (Winston-Salem Journal) - Stokes County officials told county commissioners yesterday that the county's health clinic in King could re-open soon.

Commissioners discussed the steps to take to re-open the clinic during the board's regular meeting. The main issue is hiring a doctor to provide care.

The clinic, the Southwestern Services Center, closed in 2003 after mold was discovered. The mold has been removed and the building has been tested to ensure that it is mold-free. It will be re-tested today.
