During a March 21 tour of the building, Sam Hayes, second from right, vice president of facilities for Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas, talks to Fort Scott City Commissioners and other officials with the city and CHC/SEK about the project to remodel the former Price Chopper building into a new health clinic. CHC/SEK officials said a move of the primary care clinic, pharmacy and walk-in clinic will occur in stages the weekend of April 14. The new clinic, which will offer a variety of expanded health care services, is expected to be open April 17.

Officials with Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas continue to prepare for a move into a new clinic at 2322 S. Main St., a building that formerly housed a Price Chopper store.
