Brookings Health System is committed to providing high-quality, compassionate healthcare throughout Brookings and the surrounding region. Through Arlington Medical Center, area residents have convenient access to trusted primary care services without needing to travel far from home.
Arlington Medical Center has served as Arlington’s community health clinic since 1989 and became part of Brookings Health System in 2010. The clinic provides comprehensive care for patients of all ages and supports the everyday health needs of individuals and families throughout Arlington and neighboring rural communities.
Anna Gebhart, DNP, serves patients at Arlington Medical Center, with Dr. John Jerstad, MD, serving as supervising physician. The clinic provides care for routine illnesses and injuries, preventive health needs, physical examinations, immunizations, and ongoing health concerns. When additional treatment is needed, the care team can help coordinate referrals and connect patients with specialists and services available through Brookings Health System and other regional providers.
Local access to primary care is especially important for rural communities. Arlington Medical Center helps patients receive timely care, complete recommended screenings, manage ongoing health needs, and establish a relationship with a provider who understands their medical history and community.
In addition to the Arlington clinic, Brookings Health System offers a broad range of healthcare services through Brookings Hospital, The Neighborhoods at Brookview skilled nursing facility, Brookhaven Estates senior living apartments, Yorkshire Eye Clinic & Optical, and medical clinics serving Arlington, Volga, and White.
