McDonough District Hospital has announced a new clinic in the Maple City starting early next month.
In an effort to better serve patients that are located in the Monmouth area, the new clinic will be located at 2 AmericInn Way, Suite B, a location that once housed the Cottage Hospital Monmouth Clinic and will operate Monday through Friday.
“Opening a clinic in Monmouth is a convenience for our patients, saving them time and money on travel expenses,” said MDH President and Chief Executive Officer Brian E. Dietz, FACHE. “There is no MDH clinic north of Macomb and Bushnell, and currently we have more than 1,000 patients from the Monmouth area seeking medical services at MDH. That forces those patients, especially those living in Warren, Knox, and Fulton County, to drive to one of our two McDonough County locations for their specialty care or primary care needs.”
Beginning October 3, MDH will offer Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation five days a week. MDH providers from the Ear, Nose, and Throat Clinic; and Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic will see outpatients a couple of days a month at this location. Patients can begin scheduling appointments for all three services by calling (309) 715-7362.
“MDH Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation has been voted Best of the Best in McDonough County five consecutive years, and an MDH staff member has been voted Best Physical Therapist all five years. Our award winning Rehab department will work with patients inside a larger physical therapy area within the Monmouth Clinic,” said Dietz. “We have an ample amount of exam rooms for our Ear, Nose & Throat and OB/GYN clinic appointments, and Convenience Care Clinic patients once that primary care service line begins.”
A Convenience Care Clinic is planned to open sometime after the October 3 launch date.
