(MONMOUTH, Ore.) - The Monmouth Rehabilitation Clinic of West Valley Hospital changes its name to Monmouth Medical Center, and opens at its new location at 512 Main Street, Suite 300, Monmouth Friday, January 28th.

The clinic initially will provide occupational and physical therapy. "Family medicine physicians are being recruited to staff the clinic in the future, in an effort to increase access to primary care for residents of Monmouth and Independence," says Eric Buckland, administrator of West Valley Hospital.

The clinic will be open Mondays through Thursdays, 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM and 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Fridays. To schedule an appointment, call (503) 838-1388.

The first staff at the clinic will be Phillip Segura, physical therapist, and Diane Rocak, occupational therapist. Segura is a Spanish-speaking therapist who provides a wealth of experience in work injury and musculoskeletal disorders. Rocak specializes in the treatment of upper extremity injuries and arthritis, adaptive-equipment training, and has a strong background in ergonomic assessments.

The physician recruitment is being conducted by Salem Health, the parent corporation for the Monmouth Medical Center and West Valley Hospital. During the last several years, Salem Health has brought more than 60 physicians to the mid-Willamette Valley, including several new physicians to the Dallas area.

Those are John Hadley, D.O., Family Medicine; and Alison Smith, M.D., General Surgeon; and William D. Peffley, D.O., Family Medicine.
