After almost three years of delay, construction began this week on the new Crowville Health Center. Built primarily with state appropriations secured through the efforts of Representative Noble Ellington, the Health Center will provide a new access point for health care in northern Franklin Parish. With Adkins Construction garnering the winning bid, the clinic will be almost 3,500 square feet and available to all patients whether Medicare, Medicaid, or those with commercial insurance.
