We are excited to announce that the Mankato Clinic will be partnering with the Madelia Community Hospital & Clinic (MCHC) to continue offering health care services at the current clinic location in Lake Crystal. Under the new arrangement, MCHC will assume ownership and operation of the Lake Crystal Clinic beginning August 1, 2020. The facility will be renamed Madelia Community Hospital & Clinic Lake Crystal to reflect this new ownership. We are working together to make this a seamless transition for patients. For many years, Mankato Clinic has partnered with MCHC to employ primary care physicians and practitioners and provide access to Mankato Clinic specialty services. Now we are expanding this partnership.
Here are some of the changes you will see at the Lake Crystal Clinic. As previously announced, Dr. Kirk Odden is retiring effective July 31. Dr. Marc Wilkinson will split his practice between the Lake Crystal and Madelia clinics beginning August 3. As a member of the Mankato Clinic and MCHC medical staff and a resident of Lake Crystal, Dr. Wilkinson is looking forward to expanding his practice to the Lake Crystal Clinic. He enjoys seeing and treating patients of all ages from children to older adults. MCHC has initiated recruitment for another full-time provider in addition to Dr. Wilkinson. Dar Schauer, PA-C, with the Mankato Clinic will no longer be in Lake Crystal but will continue to see her Lake Crystal patients at our Mapleton Clinic location. If you are one of Dar’s patients, you will receive a letter with more information and how to schedule appointments with her.
So although you will see some changes in the coming weeks, please be assured that under the new ownership by the Madelia Community Hospital & Clinic Lake Crystal the focus will continue to be on providing high quality health care to the Lake Crystal community. For patients that plan to continue receiving care in Lake Crystal, your medical records will not need to be transferred due to this change. If you decide to be treated elsewhere, we can provide your new health care provider with your health records upon your request.
We know MCHC looks forward to getting to know you and care for you.
