“Some people have a $3,000, or a $10,000, and some don’t have any deductible,” said Julia Smith, a certified Adult Geriatric Nurse Practitioner of the reason for opening HealthStyles LLC, a local cash only medical clinic located at 204 East Maple Street in Stanley, across from Kwik Trip. Serving patients 13 years of age and above, Health Styles LLC will offer both sports and DOT physicals, and in the next few weeks will also be able to offer lab bloodwork, when Teri McCall comes onboard as an onsite M. A. Phlebotomist. Julia’s mom Jane Verforeth will be helping out at the lobby desk, and while only one side of the building on East Maple Street is rented now, “if things pick up, we might rent both,” Smith said. As of our recent visit things were still coming together at the area’s new cash only healthcare option, as Julia’s husband Bob put in the waiting room’s water cooler—clear and fresh!

In addition to youth sports, truck driver, and bus driver physicals, HealthStyles LLC will offer urgent visits for ear and sinus infections, along with UTIs, or urinary tract infections. The cost of an urgent visit was said to priced at $55, while a wellness exam or physical will be $75. Blood labs are separate, but will be low cost, it was related. While some of the new clinic’s bloodwork will be done on site, other work will be sent out, which helps to keep costs lower.
