Plans for the new facility call for Hudson Physicians to operate a 12,500 sq. M. ft. outpatient Clinic served by 10 primary and specialty care Physicians and supported by 30 additional staff with the capacity to see up to 200 patients a day.

We live in the community. As part of the mission, vision and values of Hudson Physicians, there’s a phrase that’s a signage in the building for patients to see. It says, ‘A better way to be treated.’ That’s a better way to be treated for our patients and for the staff that we employ. Hopefully all of you will feel that way when we’re working in this medical center, ”Harrold said.
