Health Clinic to celebrate its 75th anniversary with festivities galore

The Boca Grande Health Clinic is celebrating its 75th anniversary. For this occasion the Boca Grande Clinic Foundation will host a gala street party on Thursday, April 7, to revel in this momentous occasion and to thank the entire island community for their support. Festivities will include food trucks, celebratory beverages and entertainment by the “Swinging Bridge” bluegrass band. The Clinic has come a long way since the mid-1900s, when an out-of-town doctor treated patients once a week in a small room above the Railroad Depot. The journey to 75 years wasn’t always easy. It required courage, passion and perseverance – and the steadfast support of the island community. The party will be held on 3rd Street between the Clinic and the Annex from 5 to 7 p.m. on April 7.
