Mitesco Inc. Initiates "The Good Clinic(TM)" Rollout in Minneapolis; Introduces the Founders of "The Good Clinic(TM)"
Minneapolis, MN - 
(NewMediaWire) - September 14, 2020 - Mitesco, Inc. (OTCQB: MITI) today announced that The Good Clinic, LLC has filed an application with the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota to build its first clinic. Michael Howe, CEO of the Good Clinic, said, “This is a major step forward for us to begin addressing the widespread shortage of expert primary care.” The new state of the art clinic, subject to certain regulatory and other approvals, will be located within the NordHaus Apartments located at 315 1st Ave NE, Minneapolis, MN, a new multi-use residential complex with 600+ units. In addition to the clinic’s walk-in capabilities, it will offer a full complement of online telehealth services including wellness, monitoring, and urgent care support.
“The shifting health care market created by increasing health care costs, labor shortages, technology innovations, and evolving consumer demands have created an opportunity to better deliver what the consumer seeks. We know that we can do more for consumers to improve their life, get them higher quality care at a lower price, and do so with greater ease of access,” said Dr. Woodburn.
“COVID is reshaping many segments of the economy and health care is no different. Many are now at home most of the time. We have responded to this through our design of The Good Clinic. The Good Clinic will be providing access to comprehensive primary care via telehealth and in-neighborhood clinics. Pursuing a plan toward wellness that is co-developed between the client and the health care team is as critical as is avoiding delays in care. The Good Clinic’s combined digital and in-person approach to care is essential to delivering on both of these fronts,” said Dr. Smith.
“Good health is about progress, not perfection. To make that progress, we need to assemble a healthcare team that includes experienced clinicians providing the essential medical knowledge and an empathetic connection with each person. The Good Clinic recognizes that no two people are alike. Working together, we can help consumers make progress toward their own better health,” says Dr. Hafner-Fogarty.
Michael Howe and the team of founders will leverage their extensive experience and track record building successful health care innovation businesses within the Mitesco Inc. public company structure. Shareholders should expect continuing updates on the progress of this business.
