Dieterich, IL-(Effingham Radio)- On October 4, HSHS Medical Group hosted a ribbon cutting, blessing and open house event to celebrate their new location for HSHS Medical Group Family Medicine in Dieterich. Providers at the practice include Michelle Braddy, MD, and Jennifer Kistner, APRN.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was facilitated by the Effingham County Chamber of Commerce followed by a blessing offered by Father Adam Prichard, chaplain at HSHS St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital.
“Dr. Braddy and Jennifer have been in the Dieterich community for 15 years and are well-loved by patients. Dr. Braddy has even delivered over 700 babies for families in the area,” said Tammy Lett, chief operating officer of HSHS Physician Enterprise. “We welcomed them to the HSHS family in 2022 and were pleased to move them to this facility earlier this year, which offers more space and better accessibility.”
“On behalf of the village, I would like to thank HSHS, Michelle and Jennifer for having faith in the Dieterich community and building this amazing facility right here in the heart of the village,” said Brad Hardiek, president of the village of Dieterich. “To have such a wonderful health care facility and health care professionals right here in town and not have to travel miles to seek medical attention is a huge deal to so many in our community. On a more personal note, I’ve known Dr. Braddy for as long as she’s been practicing here in Dieterich as her and her husband, Bryce, were my neighbors across the street when they first moved to the area. She’s a terrific person and I couldn’t have handpicked a better person to head up this facility.”
