 Cayuna Regional Medical Center is expanding its services to better serve the medical needs of North Central Crone County. A new physician clinic is under construction in Breezy Point, a CRMC and White Birch Inc. broke ground today on a new 10,000 square foot facility. The new clinic will be the anchor of the new North Star Center being developed on 20 acres by White Birch. The complex is named after the Breezy Point North Star's USA Hockey Sanction Junior Ice Hockey Team and will also include a dental office, other medical-related facilities, a gas station and a convenience store. Well, this is a very exciting day for the city of Breezy Point and the entire community. This is a project that's been in the plans for many, many years and we are fortunate enough to get the Cayuna Hospital to open a clinic in Breezy Point, which will make it so much more convenient for the residents of the entire area. Pequod Lakes, Breezy, Backus, Pine River all come right here instead of having to drive all the way to Crosby. We were contacted by the Breezy Point Resort about a year ago and they asked us if we were interested in looking at a piece of property where they wanted to do some development and we met with them, looked at the property, looked at this area. We did a study of market share of the Northwest part of the county and we thought it would be a great opportunity to serve the patients that are already patients of CRMC. The Breezy Point Clinic will be CRMC's fourth physicians clinic with other locations in Crosby, Baxter and Longville.
