Dean Health System announces it's closing its Milton clinic in an effort to consolidate its services.

Melissa Wollering, communication manager with Dean, says in February Milton clinic will consolidate with the Dean Northview clinic in Janesville. She says the decision is based on the challenges of maintaining a clinic with just one physician. When the Northview clinic consolidates with the new Dean medical campus in 2011, the Milton patients will also be relocated.

It would be interesting to consider whether our area is like other non-urban areas in that it doesn't have enough physicians. Physicians tend to congregate in urban centers. This is a reason to consider having more nurse practitioners do the task of routine daily medicine.
