OFC Expands to Better Serve Our Community
Breaking Ground: OFC Expands to Better Serve Our Community
We're thrilled to announce that Orthopaedic & Fracture Clinic (OFC) has officially broken ground on an exciting expansion project at our Mankato facility. On October 8, 2024, we gathered with community leaders, our project partners RW Carlstrom and ISG, and many members of our Southern Minnesota community to celebrate the start of construction on our new 5,400-square-foot addition.
Building on Our Commitment to Excellence
For over 65 years, we've been privileged to serve Southern Minnesota with comprehensive orthopedic care. This expansion—which will increase our facility's total space by 15%—represents our ongoing commitment to providing the highest quality care possible. As the recent recipients of Healthgrades®' recognition as Minnesota's #1 facility for Orthopedic Surgery in 2025, we're excited to enhance our capabilities further.
Expanding to Meet Your Needs
Our new addition will feature additional clinic rooms and expanded physical therapy facilities, allowing us to serve our growing patient family better. During the groundbreaking ceremony at our 1431 Premier Drive location, we were humbled by the strong support from our community and local leaders.
As Dr. Jesse Botker shared during the event: "The excitement around OFC for this project is palpable. We are constantly researching and developing new ways to stay ahead of the curve with cutting-edge technology and innovative services, trying to seamlessly integrate your healthcare experience, whether that is within the walls of OFC, next door at the Mankato Surgery Center, or with our renowned OrthoEdge program, our collaborative partnership with Rivers Edge Hospital in St. Peter."
This expansion will allow us to develop further our full spectrum of services, including enhanced physical therapy services and comprehensive sports medicine care.
Looking Ahead
Construction is currently underway, and we anticipate completing the project in the summer of 2025. This expansion represents our investment in the future of orthopedic care for our community. The enhanced facilities will enable us to continue providing the cutting-edge treatments and personalized care that our patients have come to expect from OFC.
Our Continued Commitment
Since 1957, we've been honored to serve as your trusted provider of orthopedic care in Southern Minnesota. Through initiatives like our OrthoEdge program at River's Edge Hospital in St. Peter, we continue to expand access to top-tier orthopedic care throughout the region.
We look forward to sharing updates about our expansion project as construction progresses.
