Doctors explore new clinic

A group of doctors is exploring the possibility of establishing a community clinic in Sisters. There will be a brainstorming meeting on Thursday, March 19 from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at SOJI Noodle & Rice.

"There is a small group of us, very small, who are interested in establishing an outreach clinic, a community clinic," said Dr. Peter Magnus. "We want to reach especially those who are under-served."

The group has received donated medical and dental equipment and is looking for a location. All types of practitioners are invited to the meeting.

"MDs don't have the inside corner on wellness - that is being shown more and more," Dr. Magnus said.

The doctors would also appreciate participation from community such as FAN veterans groups, church groups and service clubs.

Dr. Magnus, who has worked as a clinic director serving Native Americans in South Dakota and Arizona, specializes in family practice and pediatrics.
