Nearing their goal for clinic As shown on the thermometer to the left, the Ogden Clinic Project is now just $80,000 from its goal. “We are close,” says Ogden Legacy Chairman Craig Christensen. “But we would like to have a few more donations to reach our fundraising goal by the end of the year. This is a perfect opportunity for community members to take part in a great project and receive a tax benefit.” “We have made substantial progress,” says Sara Behn with the Boone County Hospital Foundation. “Every gift and any amount makes an impact and is appreciated.” (For those wishing to make a donation, a copy of the donor card appears on page two. Actual cards are available at Ogden City Hall). Groundbreaking for the medical clinic took place in May of this year. Cy Hornberg who is serving as liaison with the general contractor says their goal is to have the doctors move in the first of January with doors opening sometime in February. According to Hornberg and Christensen things are falling into place nicely. The dirt, rock and glass work is all done and most of the exterior is complete with the crew now steadily working on the inside.
