Shown above is the rerndering of the Siloam Family Health Center's new 12,000 sq. ft. facility that will be built at 820 Gale Lane (next to the Melrose Kroger shopping center off Franklin Road). The building design was donated by architect Flem Smith, Gresham Smith and Partners. HCA and the HCA Foundation provided $1.5 million as the lead capital campaign gift. To date, a total of $3.4 million of the $4.5 million goal has been raised. A celebration of the Breaking of Ground was held on May 16 and was attended by more than 100 key capital campaign donors and others who are helping make the dream of this new facility a reality.

The new Siloam facility will be dedicated to the memory of Philip R. Patton, a former Siloam Board member and HCA Senior Vice President, who was killed in a plane crash in October 2003.
