Several years ago, the Sisters of Mary of the Presentation and the local board of directors had a vision to enhance the quality of care St. Aloisius Medical Center provided by establishing an outpatient clinic. That vision has been realized with the opening of the clinic, adding to local medical choices and healthcare options. Dr. Rick Geier and Kim Thorson, FNP, staff the clinic.

St. Aloysius Medical Center’s goal is to provide additional medical services, including new services such as a DXA scanner in conjunction with an osteoporosis clinic, championed by Dr. Kelly Krohn. This service will start in about two months.1

Veterans also will no longer need to travel outside the community to see a Veterans Administration provider. As of Aug. 6, St. Aloisius will be able to provide that care for veterans at its clinic.

The medical center is currently exploring addition new services, such as cardiology, pulmonology and pediatrics These services would be available from one to two days per month in Harvey.
