Mercy Clinics announced today it has begun construction on a new family and pediatric medicine clinic in Grimes. Mercy Clinics Family Medicine and Pediatrics Grimes will be located at 250 S.W. Brookside Drive near Iowa Highway 44. Expected to open in October, the clinic will be staffed by four family medicine providers and four pediatric providers when at full capacity. The 14,400-square-foot clinic will include 24 patient exam rooms, a laboratory for on-site testing, a procedure room and X-ray services. Indianola-based Downing Construction is the construction partner. Mercy Clinics has announced several new locations in the past year; in January it began construction on a new Norwalk clinic and opened a Fort Dodge location, and in August 2016 it opened a new internal medicine clinic at Mercy-Des Moines' central campus.
