Caledonia's local Mayo Clinic to close by Dec. 10
Officials with the Mayo Clinic Health System have announced plans to close six clinics across southern Minnesota, including the clinic in Caledonia, by Dec. 10. According to a press release, the closures are part of a broader effort to consolidate rural services and shift procedures to larger regional sites. The affected clinics are located in St. Peter; Northridge - in North Mankato; Montgomery; Belle Plaine; Caledonia; and Wells. According to reporting from CBS Minnesota and other regional news outlets, Mayo officials cited staffing shortages and declining patient volumes as key reasons for the decision. John Pugleasa, director of Public Health and Human Services for Houston County, said the closure will have a profound impact on Caledonia residents. “Since Houston County does not have a hospital in the county, local primary care clinics play an even bigger role in local healthcare,” Pugleasa said. “When healthcare providers vacate a community, the whole community suffers.” Pugleasa added that public health officials in the county will evaluate how to help fill the void, but acknowledged that they cannot fully replace a primary care clinic. In a statement, officials with Mayo stated they are working to strengthen access to coordinated care and expand flexible options
