The Western Wisconsin Health Roberts Clinic held an Open House Celebration on Tuesday, October 3, 2017. Board members from the Baldwin-Woodville, Central St. Croix, and New Richmond Chamber of Commerce attended a Ribbon Cutting prior to the Open House. Guests were able to tour the newly expanded clinic, enjoy complimentary healthy local refreshments, receive giveaways, and be entered to win prizes. Visitors also had the chance to meet our health and wellness team and learn more about the services and programs offered at the clinic to treat the whole family.

“The open house was an excellent opportunity to meet so many great people from Roberts and the surrounding area,” said Alison Page, CEO. “It was a great chance to educate visitors on all of the services that we have to offer at the Roberts Clinic.”
