“Several years ago, we completed an exhaustive process to redesign our patient flow to better serve our patients,” said Dr. Sam Weir, medical leader of the redesign project. “We worked with an architect to create a physical design that reflects the new patient flow. We are very proud of the new Family Medicine Center and over time we will be able to see up to 20,000 more patients annually.”
