Hall County’s Department of Health plans on renovating and relocating several clinics in a series of moves that officials said would improve quality of services. District 2 Health Director David N. Westfall said one of the biggest benefits will be more room for the department’s Ryan White Clinic, which treats and manages patients with HIV. “The hope is that once the dental clinic moves, there will be enough money in the project to do some fairly minor renovations on the modular building in order for the Ryan White Clinic to move into the modular building from the current health department building, where it doesn’t have much space,” Westfall said. “That is one of the kind of domino effects of being able to move the dental clinic over to the Prior Street campus.”
