Advent Health has officially opened for business in Paola. The new clinic held an Open House and Ribbon Cutting last week, with community members, the Paola Chamber of Commerce and some elected officials having a first look. The clinic is at 1401 Baptiste Drive, in the former Hibbett Sports Building. It was a complete rebuild of the space, to include patient waiting area, welcome area, a nurses station and registration. The work began in November and took about six months to complete, The clinic will be home to longtime Paola Dr. Donald Banks, who offers primary care and family medicine. He and nurse practitioner, Sarah Staughton, will treat children and adults of all ages in a wide range of health needs.
Advent Health also announced it will open at PT Solutions Clinic in the same building in August. The clinic will offer physical therapy for orthopedic and neurological conditions, manual therapist, concussion care, post-operative care, vestibular therapy, balance retraining and assessment, dry needling, running/gait analysis and sport specific training.
