Today, the medical center includes a multi-specialty clinic located at the north end of the building, as well as a retail pharmacy and optical shop. New Ulm Medical Center opened its first satellite clinic - The Winthrop Area Clinic - in 2007. New Ulm Medical Center has been recognized nationally for innovation, patient care, patient safety, patient satisfaction and more.
