Essentia Health Grand Rapids Clinic expands

A groundbreaking ceremony took place on July 11 for a $14 million expansion of the Essentia Health Grand Rapids Clinic, located on 1542 Golf Course Road. The project, which is designed to increase health service choices to the residents of Itasca County and surrounding areas, will make the clinic a partner of the Lakewood Surgery Center.

A surgery center is a lower cost alternative for outpatient (same day) surgery.

“Essentia is always interested in partnering with other healthcare providers in our region to provide high quality care at a lower cost,” said Marsha Green, chief operating officer and administrator at Essentia Health Deer River.
