Cass Regional Medical Center is furthering its investment in Pleasant Hill and the surrounding area this year with a new center that will offer ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) exams.

"Our vision has always been to expand health care services to meet the needs of our communities," said Chris Lang, Cass Regional CEO. "We believe that the new center will be a valuable resource for patients by providing convenient access to additional diagnostic imaging services."

The imaging center will be attached to Pleasant Hill Medical Clinic, but it will be operated separately, with its own entrance and waiting area. The center will be staffed with radiologic technologists who are certified in administering ultrasound and CT exams, and it will be overseen by the director of medical imaging at Cass Regional Medical Center.

Construction on the center is slated to begin this spring.

Expansion planned for Pleasant Hill Medical Clinic

Pleasant Hill Medical Clinic will be enlarged this year in order to create three new exam rooms, bringing the total number to 12, as well as offices for the providers and a larger break room for the staff.

Pleasant Hill Medical Clinic has been owned and operated by Cass Regional Medical Center since 1998 and moved to its present location in 2004, when Cass Regional built a new facility to house it. Family medicine providers at the clinic are Pamela Davis, DO, and Jessica Testa, DO, and nurse practitioners are Stephanie Duarte and Breann Sargent. Two specialists—orthopedic surgeon Ken Petersen, DO, and general surgeon Clint Seifert, MD, FACS—also see patients at the clinic.

"We are pleased to offer expanded access to primary and specialist care for the Pleasant Hill area," said Chris Lang, Cass Regional CEO. "We have enjoyed a long relationship with the community and look forward to many more years of being a trusted medical provider for area families."
