 While Ascension Health in Baxter was excited to announce the opening of their newly recently expanded health clinic, the $8 million 20,000 square foot project featured more office space to add new physicians and extended physical therapy room and an urgent care that doubled in size. To celebrate the grand opening, Ascension Health held an open house for community members to check out the new facility and enjoy some frozen yogurt as well. As you all know that the Baxter area has been thriving and so we saw this continued need and desire for more doctors and doctors and nurses need more space. It's going to improve access to both primary and specialty care by providing more physicians and more providers and access to more services. Baxter's expanded facility is already fully operating and accepting patients. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
