HUMBOLDT — Dr. Becky Lohman will begin seeing patients at a new clinic in Humboldt beginning the first of the year.
Lohman, a physician with Iola-based The Family Physicians, will offer family medicine, general women’s health and obstetrical care.
The clinic is a joint effort between The Family Physicians and Allen County Hospital. It will be in a renovated building at 111 N. 9th St.
Lohman will see patients from 8 a.m. to noon the first and third Thursdays of the month.
“It’s an effort to meet the needs of Humboldt residents in a more meaningful way,” said Joyce Heismeyer, chief executive officer of Allen County Hospital.
Heismeyer said if demand increases, an increase in physicians and office hours will occur.
“We’re excited about this partnership with The Family Physicians practice,” Heismeyer said. “Our goal is to provide family care services in a way that’s easy and convenient for residents who don’t live near our hospital or doctors’ offices. We’re hoping that the people of Humboldt and surrounding areas will take advantage of the services now located right in their community.”
Virgil Bourne, practice manager for The Family Physicians, said the expansion to Humboldt is a natural extension.
“Our doctors and staff are very committed to the communities in and around Allen County. This is where we live and work,” he said.
The designated space on the Humboldt Square for the clinic is currently not in use and will be renovated prior to the clinic’s opening. Renovation construction is slated to begin immediately.
