BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – The HealthPartners Medical Group announced today that it will open a new urgent care site in Arden Hills on Nov. 5, 2007. The new site will operate in the same building as the HealthPartners Arden Hills Clinic, located at 3930 Northwoods Dr.

The new Arden Hills urgent care site will offer patients a full-range of urgent care services without an appointment, including lab, radiology, pharmacy and extended mammography. The site will also feature daytime, evening and weekend urgent care hours: Monday through Friday 1 p.m.-9 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday noon to 5 p.m.

"We're pleased to give patients in Arden Hills and surrounding communities a convenient walk-in option for their minor health care needs."

In addition to its new Arden Hills Urgent Care site, HealthPartners Medical Group operates urgent care sites in Apple Valley, Brooklyn Center, Minneapolis and St. Paul.
