Lamar, CO – Thursday, September 12^th – Residents of Wiley and the surrounding area joined employees of the Wiley Clinic, representatives of the Lamar Chamber of Commerce and Lamar Honkers to celebrate the re-opening of the Clinic with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Monday afternoon, September 9.

High Plains Community Health Center hosted the gathering which gave people a chance to visit with Dr. John Abbot and staff members and view the Clinic’s facilities.  Executive Director Jay Brooke stated that he was pleased the Clinic could serve the western section of Prowers County.  He said the Clinic’s re-opening should also make it easier for residents from Bent and Kiowa Counties to receive continued medical care.  Abbott said he was happy that the same health care opportunities offered at High Plains, would be made available to Wiley area residents.

The Clinic is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 302 South Main Street, next to the Post Office.  Call for office hours at 719-829-4286.
