PUTNEY — Putney Family Healthcare, a Brattleboro Memorial Hospital Physician Group member, is undergoing renovations to expand its facility at 79 Main St.
According to a BMH press release, this expansion is in response to a growing demand for medical care in the service area, which includes Putney, Dummerston, Westminster, and Saxtons River.
GPI Construction began work on the expansion in November 2014. The work will create four additional exam rooms and increase office space for administrative staff.
BMH Director of Plant Services Rob Prohaska reportedly is working with Joe Fortier of GPI to manage the project, which is expected to be completed by March.
Upon completion, John Todd, APRN-FNP, a family nurse practitioner working part-time in the Putney office, will join Richard Fletcher, APRN, and Kari Dickey, DO, as a full-time member of the Putney Family Healthcare medical staff.
“We are excited to have John join our group full-time. He is a great addition and will complement both Richard Fletcher and Kari Dickey,” said Practice Manager Debbie Hebert in a news release. “With all three providers here full-time, we should be better able to accommodate our growing population of patients.”
The three providers will be on staff Mondays and Fridays, while two providers will be available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays once the expansion is complete.
