PROVIDENCE, R.I. – From left to right, Dr. Satish Sharma, chief of staff for the VA Providence Healthcare System, Matthiew Goulet, associate director for patient care, Ryan Lilly, director of the VA New England Healthcare System, Lawrence Connell, director of the VA Providence HCS, and Erin Clare Sears, associate director for operations, break ground during a ceremony that was held privately due to social-distancing considerations July 14, 2020, for a project to build a new mental health facility on the Providence VA Medical Center campus, located at 830 Chalkstone Ave. in Providence, R.I. The $14 million project will create a modern, attractive and energy-efficient space for providing the quality mental health care and services Veterans have earned. The 14,000 square-foot facility will also make use of sloped land unsuitable for surface parking and allow for the retirement of outdated and inefficient modular buildings. The general contractor for the project is the Billy W. Jarrett Construction Company Inc. of Montgomery, Ala. (Providence VA Healthcare System photo by Winfield Danielson).
