Unity Medical Center Breaks Ground on New Park River Family Clinic

Unity Medical Center has officially broken ground on a new construction project that will bring expanded healthcare access to the Park River community. The new 3,800-square-foot facility, located just off Highway 17 next to Dollar General, will soon become the new home of Park River Family Clinic, with doors expected to open in the summer of 2026.

The clinic’s design — envisioned by Clinic Manager, Kari Novak, and brought to life by the great crew at Leon’s Building Center, Inc. — emphasizes patient comfort, efficiency, and privacy. The building will feature six exam rooms and a thoughtfully planned layout designed to ensure a welcoming, modern environment for patients and staff alike.

“Dr. Kristi Midgarden has been a mainstay within the Park River community for more than 18 years,” said Mark Bertilrud, Chief Operating Officer at Unity Medical Center. “We want her and Kristin Stabo’s patients to have a clinic space that reflects the same level of quality and care seen in our recent Grafton upgrades. Every step of this project is centered around enhancing the patient experience.”

The new Park River Family Clinic represents Unity Medical Center’s ongoing investment in local healthcare and its commitment to serving the region with compassionate, high-quality care — close to home.
