While a progressive medical facility focuses on bringing the latest and greatest to their patients, it is inevitable to be faced with “growing pains”. Clara Barton Medical Clinic – Great Bend has been a part of the Great Bend community for the past seven years, but as they continued to grow and expand services, they quickly outgrew their existing space. In efforts to provide the necessary square footage and increase efficiency for both recent and upcoming additions, Clara Barton recently opened their new Great Bend clinic location at 906 McKinley Street.

 

Previously located in Jackson Square, Clara Barton’s Great Bend Clinic was a mere 2,758 square feet, housing just five exam rooms and one procedure room.

 

“The lack of space made it difficult for more than one provider to operate out of our Jackson Square location at one time, nor did it allow us the ability to grow,” said Shayla Cook, Clinic Nurse Manager. “Not only does our new space allow us the ability for multiple providers to work out of the facility at one time, but we are now able to offer more services to our patients as well as providing a more comfortable and convenient experience.”

 

Clara Barton’s new rural health clinic on McKinley Street opened on April 26th and boasts 10,000 square feet, housing 18 exam rooms, and 2 procedure rooms.
