The Knox Clinic is excited to propose the creation of a Community Health Center on a portion of the Thomaston Green adjacent to Route 1. 

Volunteers and staff of the Knox Clinic have done extensive research into this initiative regarding location, purpose, and function with an eye towards what could best serve the health needs of the entire community. 

Dedicating one of the 15 acres of the Thomaston Green to creating a health and wellness center we see as a way to both broaden our commitment to wellness, and increase accessibility to the Green through dual purpose design such as a shared parking area.

We value the downtown connection, the high visibility and accessibility, including for the peninsula communities we serve, and the ability to commit ourselves to supporting a community-led vision for walking paths, play areas, and gardens that are vital to everyone’s health and wellbeing.

We would like to see if the Thomaston community will support this opportunity through a series of public conversations and a vote on Wednesday June 14th.

All are welcome to attend our community conversations. The first will be Monday April 17, at 2 p.m. or 6 p.m .in the conference room of the Thomaston Public Library. The town will also be hosting a meeting on Thursday May 11,  at 6 p.m. at the Thomaston Municipal Building. 

Learn more and connect with us at our website  KnoxClinic.org/news  It would be wonderful if we can co-create a vision for a community hub and center of wellness, we hope to see you there!
