Banner Health Johnstown Family Clinic to add providers and clinic space

JOHNSTOWN, Colo. (Dec. 10, 2010) – Banner Health and the NCMC Inc. Board of Directors announce that construction will begin this month to expand the Johnstown Family Clinic by more than 7,500 square feet. In addition, the clinic will welcome two new physicians in 2011.

Building construction will tie directly into the corridors of the existing 9,503-square-foot-clinic, which has 12 exam rooms. Construction will extend the building to the south and will include an elevator to access the lower level of the building, 12 additional exam rooms, a third procedure room, two nurses stations, a sub-waiting room and a consultation room.

The space layout and design focused on energy efficiency and operational flow. The selected architect for the project is Thorp Associates and the general contractor is Coe Construction of Loveland.

NCMC Inc. will fund the $1.6 million project budget for the expansion and Banner Health will continue to operate the clinic. Construction is projected to be complete in early July and the building ready for operation in mid July. The existing clinic, also funded by NCMC Inc., cost $1.4 million to construct and was opened in September 2003. Johnstown Family Clinic averages about 2,000 patient visits each month.

“We have been honored to be part of the Johnstown community and look forward to bringing additional health care services to residents,” said Peter McNally, executive director of Banner Medical Group-Western Region.

Starting in January 2011, Martin Bohm, D.O., will join Johnstown Family Clinic. Dr. Bohm is an internal medicine specialist and a graduate of Northern Illinois University in Dekalb, Ill., and Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, Mo. He is moving his practice to Johnstown from Loveland.
