TriState to offer OBGYN services
TriState Health will begin offering obstetrics and gynecology services along with an orthopedics clinic this fall, responding to community needs for local healthcare access. The OB/GYN clinic will be staffed by board-certified OB/GYN Lindsay Kern and certified nurse-midwife Andrea Hedrick, with deliveries taking place at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center. Chief Operating Officer Joleen Carper emphasized community feedback that indicated a need for these services within the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley. The new orthopedics clinic will be staffed by Dr.
Bryan Beardsley and Greg Obray, focusing on fracture care and minimally invasive surgical options. Annually, TriState physicians make between 1,200 and 1,400 referrals to orthopedics, highlighting the demand for such services. Carper stated that ensuring local access to care is vital for patients' well-being. Both clinics are expected to open by late September or early October.
