CoxHealth's Marshfield Clinic Expanding

CoxHealth

CoxHealth Center Marshfield will move into a bigger space next spring. Ground has been broken on a new clinic, at 1245 Banning St., in Marshfield. The clinic will have 10,400 square feet of space-- more than triple the size of the current facility.

David Taylor, corporate vice president at CoxHealth, says, since the healthcare system’s first clinic in Marshfield was established more than 20 years ago, the need for medical care in the community has grown considerably.

The new facility will provide 18 rooms for patient care. There are currently three providers—one medical doctor and two family nurse practitioners.  The new facility will allow for four more medical providers.  The facility will also be designed to accommodate specialists that may periodically see patients at the clinic, and there will be space that can be used for local health education programs.

The clinic will also offer patients remote diagnosis and consultative services via digital communications.

The facility is slated to be completed in the spring of 2017.
