FAIRMONT — Windom Area Health is preparing to open a new specialty clinic in Fairmont this fall. The clinic will occupy eight rooms in the Victoria State Crossing Building, in the space most recently used by Center for Specialty Care. The opening will happen in phases, beginning with general surgery, OB-GYN and urology services. Future plans include adding primary and acute care, lab and imaging services, extended clinic hours and eventually a surgery center. For now, surgeries and deliveries involving Fairmont patients will continue to take place at Windom Area Health’s hospital in Windom. Clinic-based procedures, including skin biopsies and wound care, are expected to be offered in Fairmont. Windom Area Health is also hiring nursing and support staff for the new location. The organization plans to share more information with the community, including at a booth during the upcoming Martin County Fair.
