Northfield Hospital + Clinics welcomes specialty care providers as NH+C purchases the Jefferson Road Clinic from Allina Health.
NH+C and Allina Health are on track to complete the transition of the clinic in September 2026. Current clinic patients will be contacted directly, with details from their specific clinician(s). Scheduling for appointments with transitioning clinicians will open in August for appointments starting in late September.
NH+C will welcome four specialists who will continue to care for patients in the same location, as part of NH+C’s independent health care system. NH+C also welcomes staff who work with these providers to continue the excellent care patients receive from the clinic care team.
- Kendra Babcock, PharmD, BCGP -- Pharmacology
- Bryan Hoff, MD -- Sleep Medicine
- Sheralyn McClelland, LAc -- Acupuncture
- Trent Steenblock, DPM -- Podiatry
“We’re excited to welcome these excellent providers, who will continue delivering great care in our community,” said NH+C President and CEO Zander Abbott. “These providers and their staff are exceptional clinicians, and trusted members of our community. They are well-respected partners of NH+C. We’re committed to making this a smooth transition for them to continue providing excellent care for their patients.”
Other specialists will remain with Allina Health, providing access to care in other Allina Health locations. Current patients will receive a letter from their clinician(s) with new location and contact information. Allina Health will continue to provide audiology and hearing aid services in Apple Valley, Hastings, and Faribault.
NH+C and Allina Health continue their long-standing partnership to serve the community with access to high‑quality care close to home.
"This partnership reflects a shared commitment to caring for this community now and in the future,” said Bill Evans, Chief Medical Group Operations Officer for Allina Health. “Together with Northfield Hospital + Clinics, we are strengthening access to care close to home while maintaining connections to specialty services when needed.”
Scheduling with NH+C will begin in August for clinic appointments starting in late September.
