(Red Oak, Iowa) – Officials with the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital (MCMH) in Red Oak have announced the expansion of the facilities’ services in Malvern, with the addition of Malvern Medical Clinic – Downtown. MCMH will take over operations of the former Methodist Clinic, which will house the new Malvern Medical Clinic – Downtown at 415 Main Street. Renovations are scheduled to begin early in the new year, and the clinic is expected to open its doors to patients in spring 2025.

MCMH currently operates the Malvern Medical Clinic, RHC, located at 908 Main Street in Malvern. Malvern Medical Clinic, RHC, houses three providers: Dr. Thomas Baer, Eva-Anne Kentner, DNP, FNP-C, and Don Scarborough, MS, PA-C, who recently rejoined MCMH. Once renovations are complete, Don Scarborough will transition to the downtown clinic location, while Dr. Thomas Baer and Eva-Anne Kentner will continue to serve patients at the 908 Main Street location, and assist at the downtown location when needed.

Officials say the decision to open a second clinic in Malvern reflects MCMH’s commitment to meeting the growing healthcare needs of the community. Ron Kloewer, MCMH CEO says “We have been working with Dr. Baer to serve the Malvern community for many years now and we are thrilled with the support the Malvern community has shown us. Malvern is growing and so are we! With the recent addition of Don Scarborough, MS, PA-C joining the Malvern Medical Clinic team, we need space to accommodate the patients who have given us the privilege of caring for their health. We are committed to Malvern and we are here to serve. We are excited to open Malvern Medical Clinic – Downtown.”
