BIGFORK VALLEY NEWS RELEASE

BIGFORK VALLEY SIGNS PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Bigfork Valley has entered into a purchase agreement to buy land in Coleraine for the purpose of building a primary care clinic and is currently in the planning stages for the new development. The site for the project is located in vacant land east of the Greenway football field along Highway 169.

Bigfork Valley, an independent hospital headquartered in Bigfork, plans to research the site’s suitability over the coming months as a possible location for a primary care clinic with supporting services. Bigfork Valley also provides laboratory and pharmacy services in Floodwood, and opened a primary care clinic in Marcell in August.

“We are very excited about the possibility of developing a clinic location in Coleraine,” said Bigfork Valley CEO Dan Odegaard. “We believe in bringing quality health care to the local community setting, and we are confident that our brand of personal service with choice would be an asset to the Coleraine area.”
