Now that I’m settled in at Rushford Clinic – and in Rushford, I thought I’d take a moment to introduce myself and say hello to my fellow community members. I’m Maclane (please feel free to call me Mac) Bever, a Family Nurse Practitioner at Rushford Clinic. I’m a primary care provider, which means I provide care for people of all ages, and I specialize in preventing, diagnosing, and treating a broad range of conditions. This includes temporary illnesses such as a sore throat, earache, sinus infection or a common cold, an injury, or ongoing conditions such as heart or kidney disease, high blood pressure or diabetes. You might wonder who needs a primary care provider? The answer is everyone! When you have a primary care provider, you have a “go-to” person you’re comfortable with when you have questions about any health concern. Establishing a relationship with a primary care provider leads to knowledge and familiarity that helps ensure the best care possible. In fact, that’s what drew me to being a primary care provider. It’s a privilege to get to know those I care for on a deeper level. Healthcare is not “one size fits all.” My goal is to create an ongoing relationship that’s meaningful to my patients so I can help each person take care of their health and feel their best physically and mentally. On a personal note, my husband, Bryce, and I have a two-year-old daughter, Mae, and we are overjoyed to be building a life in the town we love. To those we’ve met so far, thank you for making us feel so welcomed! If you’re looking for a primary care provider, I hope to hear from you. I welcome the opportunity to care for you – and everyone in your family! If you’d like to schedule an appointment with me at Rushford Clinic, please call 507.864.7726. (If you’re due for a health checkup, now’s a great time to check that off your list!)
