Construction of the $2.85 million West Otago Health Centre is on track and a ''roof shout'' will be held on Friday.
West Otago Health Trust chairman Allister Body said the ''roof shout'' would give people a chance to see progress, while raising money and ''having fun''.
The shout could not be held on site, so it would take place at the nearby Tapanui Golf Club, whose members had been very supportive of the whole project, Mr Body said.
For serious golfers there would be a tournament-style course and for others there would be a novelty course.
A barbecue and auction would follow.
Fundraising committee chairwoman Annalie Downie said the event would begin at 4pm but people were welcome to come later and still play a round of golf or socialise at the club.
A range of items have been donated by Southern businesses, including a golfing glove and photo signed by New Zealand golfer Lydia Ko and a golfing package at Millbrook in Queenstown.
''While the focus is to get more money for the third stage, we want to have some fun and celebrate the progress the project has made,'' she said.
''For a little community, we have battled on, falling in so many cracks, but we are getting there.''
The new health centre and rest-home is expected to be completed by mid-July.
In January last year, two Dunedin businesses - Cook Brothers Construction and Oakley Gray Architects - won the $2.4 million contract for the community-owned health centre.
Since then, the project budget had been capped at $2.85 million due to alterations as part of the design process.
Mr Body said the trust had enough money to meet the stage one construction costs.
Stage two of the project, a helipad estimated to cost $10,000, would be paid for by the Mercer Trust with labour provided by the Tapanui Volunteer Fire Brigade, but about $250,000 was needed for the third stage, equipment and landscaping.
The medical centre is being built on the grounds of the former Tapanui hospital on State Highway 90.
It will include a 14-bed rest-home, offering the district's elderly residents a chance to stay in the town instead of having to move to facilities in larger centres.
Thirteen rooms have been sponsored, with naming rights awarded to each room. One nurse's consulting room and 10 bedrooms remained without sponsors.
