Stanley, ND- With Phase One, the CT/ER Expansion having been completed a year ago and Phase Two, the T.H. Reiarson Rural Health Clinic open for patients, all energy is now being focused on Phase Three, the expansion of the Bethel Home. The approved expansion will include a Chapel/Multipurpose Room, a new and bigger kitchen, a remodel of the current dining rooms, relocation of shipping and receiving and a Transportation Center. The plans are at state and once approved, bids will be accepted and groundbreaking is still possible for late summer/early fall. Our sincere thank you to all who have donated and have brought us to this point.
