Grand opening at Grand Avenue Clinic
The New Year brings a new look and a new location to HealthEast’s Macalester/Groveland Clinic. Newly named the HealthEast Grand Avenue Clinic, its opening is being celebrated with style and substance during a weeklong schedule of activities featuring speakers, health screenings, and an open house in its brand new space on Grand Avenue.
The HealthEast Grand Avenue Clinic offers a full range of services including family medicine and midwifery (certified nurse-midwives). Established in 1996 at its original Macalester/Groveland location, the clinic was created in response to the overwhelming need for services in the Highland and Macalester/Groveland areas. It has since become an integral part of the neighborhood, helping people lead healthy lives. Join us for our extra "grand" opening, Jan. 25-30. "Grand" opening week scheduleMonday, January 2512 – 1 pm Listening to the Voice of Your Heart (Selina Blatz, CNP, Certified Nurse Practitioner and Certified Health and Wellness Coach, HealthEast Women’s Care) If your heart could speak — what would it say you value the most? Your health? If so — are your lifestyle practices showing that it's important to you? Selina discusses the process of change and the steps to take to modify your lifestyle practices. (Limited spaces available, please register with HealthEast Care Connection at 651-326-2273.) 5 – 6 pm What is a Midwife and What Can Midwives Do For Me?

Tuesday, January 2612 – 1 pm Advance Care Planning (Christy Larson, RN, HealthEast Care Management) Do you have a health care directive or living will? The best time to do advance care planning is before you or your family members need it. It is not only the best way to ensure your wishes are followed when you cannot speak for yourself, but it also helps you honor your loved ones’ wishes when they cannot speak for themselves. How can you begin this process and help others in your life do the same? Hear from an expert about how to start thinking about your choices in light of your own personal goals, values and beliefs.
