Greenfield Ascension Healthcare Center Cuts The Ribbon – Patch.com

The new clinic will provide primary and specialty care, as well as hospital and emergency services, a news release from Ascension said when the facility was announced. The clinic replaces a former Barnes & Noble book store.

The new clinic was expected to create about 50-70 jobs, Patch reported.

It's a small-scale hospital with emergency services and eight in-patient beds. Altogether it takes up 32,000 square feet, the news release said. The clinic plans to operate 24/7 every day of the year, and will be staffed with the expected nurses, specialists and doctors.

"We know that having convenient access to care is a priority for our patients and their families. This new health center provides an innovative way to integrate inpatient and outpatient services while keeping care close to home," said Bernie Sherry, senior vice president of Ascension.

Services at the center will include cardiology and electrophysiology. An outpatient imaging facility with MRI, CT, ultrasound, mammography and X-rays is planned. The facility was announced in January last year.
