Minnetonka-based Emergency Physicians Professional Association recently opened its second Urgency Room in the Twin Cities. The new facility in Eagan is designed to be an alternative to hospital emergency rooms.
The medical facility treats walk-in patients with acute or urgent care needs and is staffed by a physician, nurses and paramedics. It has laboratory facilities and CT, ultrasound and radiology equipment.
The physicians association opened its first Urgency Room in Woodbury in 2010. Becky Leagjeld, manager of business development, said the group plans to open a third facility in Vadnais Heights next spring.
The Eagan facility at 3010 Denmark Av. is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week and accepts major insurance carriers and most health plans.
On the move in Burnsville
Several businesses in Burnsville's Heart of the City area are moving as a result of unspecified plans at Parkway Place.
Tenants of the two-story office building at 101 W. Burnsville Pkwy. were notified in August they needed to vacate by the end of October. The building is owned by a business entity controlled by Thomas Lohmann, who also heads the building's property manager, Pinehurst Properties of Minneapolis.
The Burnsville Chamber of Commerce, the south metro office of SCORE, U.S. Rep. John Kline's campaign and congressional offices and the south metro bureau of the Star Tribune are moving to Gateway Plaza at 350 W. Burnsville Pkwy.
