The project has started a fundraising campaign and continues to gather collections for the new museum. In 2025, the organization expects to release a report detailing the number of employees and the space required for the museum. Finally, 2026 will see the opening of the Stafford Museum.

These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
