The celebration is slated for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday in the clinic, 13060 Isle Drive.
The new clinic, which opened Feb. 6, is home to pediatricians, obstetricians/gynecologists and eight Family Medicine physicians. UrgentCare physicians and staff have also moved to the site. You’ll also find a retail pharmacy, laboratory, radiology services and physical therapy.
The Essentia Health St. Joseph’s-Baxter Clinic has been designed to create a welcoming and comfortable experience for patients and their families, Clinic Administrator Bill Palmer says. It’s also designed to deliver more efficient and cost-effective care, he says.
Essentia Health invested $13.5 million, predominantly with local contractors and vendors, to build, furnish and equip the clinic. The convenient site is close to where a growing number of people live, work and shop.
