Putney Family Healthcare, a BMH Physician Group member, is undergoing renovations to expand its 79 Main Street facility. Practice officials state that 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, which will create four additional exam rooms as well as increase office space for administrative staff. BMH Director of Plant Services Rob Prohaska is working with Joe Fortier of GPI to manage the project, which is expected to be completed March 1, 2015.
Upon completion, John Todd, APRN-FNP, a family nurse practitioner who is currently 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,” says Practice Manager Debbie Hebert. “With all three providers here full time, we should be better able to accommodate our growing population of patients.”
Hebert adds that three providers will be on staff Mondays and Fridays, while two providers will be available Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays once the expansion is complete. New patients should call the Centralized Scheduling Department at 844-258-8777 to find an available provider.
