Kumla vårdcentral to welcome first patients on monday

After nearly three years of construction, Kumla vårdcentral will open its doors to patients on Monday.

Kumla vårdcentral has completed a construction process that lasted nearly three years. Care center manager Petra Sundqvist looks forward to receiving the first patients together with the public dental care service.

She finds it hard to believe that everything is now ready after the long wait.

“I have waited for so long, so long, so many years,” says Petra Sundqvist.

Some details may still need fixing both before and after the opening on Monday.
