HealthPartners today announced that it will open a new 5,000 square foot clinic at 7500 80th Street south in Cottage Grove, Minn. in early 2010.

“Our Cottage Grove Clinic will build upon the success of our Inver Grove Heights and Woodbury clinics which already serve the south east metro.” said Brian Rank, MD, medical director of the HealthPartners Medical Group.

Rank said the Cottage Grove clinic will be staffed by a combination of doctors, physician assistants and nurse practitioners. Like all HealthPartners primary care clinics, the Cottage Grove clinic will offer on-site lab and x-ray services. Plans also include the option to expand clinic space at a later date.

“We believe this is an excellent opportunity to serve the health care needs of

residents of this rapidly growing area,” said Rank.
