McFarland Clinic to open brand-new facility

As an Ames residents or ISU student, you’ll soon be able to take advantage of the brand-new McFarland Clinic opening in north Ames. It’s being constructed near the intersection of Stange Road & Bloomington Road in northwest Ames, adjacent to the new Fareway grocery store that opened in 2009. The 16,500-square-foot clinic began construction in October and is scheduled to be complete by September of this year.

Although McFarland has an existing building in the Somerset area, the new facility will have physical therapy services, rehabilitation services, and a family medicine practice. Initially, it will have three providers, but will eventually grow to include up to six. The older building, complete with a hydro-therapy pool and large sports medicine facility, will continue to serve the general public.

The North Ames clinic will be the first McFarland clinic that’s designed without a medical records room, as everything will be digital. All exam rooms were designed to accommodate patients while electronically recording the visit. Radiology images from this office will be completely digital as well. This is part of an ongoing transition to electronic records that is happening in all McFarland buildings – and should be completed within three years.
