A family day event and ribbon-cutting ceremony were held in mid-September to recognize the recent expansion of the HealthPartners Arden Hills Clinic at 3930 Northwoods Drive. The expansion adds some 8,500 square feet to the clinic and allows for more patient rooms, onsite ultrasound and expanded specialty services like OB/Gyn, Adult and Pediatric Dermatology and Pediatric Endocri- nology. Additional parking spots also were added. “A true community is not just about being geographically close,” said Clinic Manager Michelle Tennant. “It is about being connected and responsible for what happens. We are delighted to be able to expand our services for our community and to continue with the HealthPartners mission to improve health and well-being in partnership with our mem- bers, patients and community.
