On Wednesday June 14, I will be voting yes on article 5 to build a community health center here in Thomaston. I am voting yes for the Knox Clinic because I want to support care for our veterans and our seniors.

We need more doctors in the area, and wouldn’t it be wonderful if they were right here, walkable from the downtown and a part of our community? The Knox Clinic staff care about our community and are really listening to what we need.

I hope Thomaston residents will join me in voting yes on Article 5 at our town meeting to make sure everyone has access to medical care, especially our seniors.
