Essentia Health plans to open clinic, pharmacy in Deerwood

Following positive review during a Deerwood Planning Commission meeting on Wednesday, Essentia Health is excited to take another step toward building a new clinic and pharmacy which could open in Deerwood in 2023. 

The 6,500-square-foot clinic and 700-square-foot pharmacy would be located at the intersection of Minnesota Highways 210 and 6, at the site of the former Thoroughbred Carpets. Construction on the approximately $5 million project likely would start this summer or early fall. 

Services offered at the clinic would include primary care, specialty care, physical therapy and orthopedics outreach, in a modern space featuring exam rooms, procedure rooms, imaging, lab space and an area dedicated to physical therapy. All exam rooms would be set up for telehealth visits. A convenient drive-through would accompany the pharmacy.
