Site Change For Randolph Child Clinic
Asheboro officials relocate the crippled children clinic from the health department to Randolph Hospital due to space constraints. The clinic remains monthly on last Friday from 6 am to 1 pm with unchanged appointment procedures. Duke Hospital officials cite ongoing space shortages as a reason, noting prior moves of the eye and cancer clinics to alternate sites. The clinic averages nine patients monthly, each with one to three accompanying family members, and officials expect the Randolph Hospital location to better serve patients.
