Clinic construction

Using a remote control pack, Bryan DaMoude of DaMoude Concrete Pumping of Hershey, left, directs the pouring of the foundation for the new urgent care walk-in medical clinic on North Highway 83 in McCook, under threatening skies early Wednesday morning. The crew from Hard Core Concrete and Construction of McCook -- which included, from left, Greg Brennan, Lirin Yost and Heath McDonald -- spread the concrete in preparation for floating and finishing. Funneling concrete into the concrete pumper was Dave Maynard, of Gerhold Concrete, also of McCook. The developer of the new clinic, Jim Allen, a physician assistant, watched from the sidelines. The clinic will offer minor medical assistance on a walk-in basis, and will be open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., six days a week, and five hours on Sunday. Hours may be expanded if necessary.
