Marshfield Clinic will open a satellite medical facility in Loyal Oct 17.

The new medical clinic, which will be staffed by physicians from the Marshfield Clinic-Greenwood Center, will be located at 235 Main St in the medical office previously occupied by Dr. A. P. Hable.

The decision to establish the Loyal practice was made in order "to better serve both our existing and new patients from the greater Loyal community," said Robert Peterson, Marshfield Clinic administrator.

Providing services at the Loyal office will be Dr. Gary Janssen and Dr. Russell Dean.

Janssen, an Eau Claire native who received his M.D. degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Medical School, has been a member of the Greenwood Center since July 1979. He is a board-certified specialist in family practice.

Dean, who recently joined the Greenwood Center staff, also is a board-certified family practitioner. A native of Bloomington, Minnesota, he received his M.D. degree from the University of Minnesota Medical School.

Loyal area residents already are served by Neillsville Clinic physicians at the Loyal Medical Center.
