adlec Clinic continues to expand its services to meet
the medical needs of the region. Two of the most recent
additions include:
New Kadlec Clinic Endocrinology
Kadlec Clinic recently opened a new
endocrinology office with the addition to
its medical staff of Shannon Bales, MD.
Endocrinologists treat diseases affecting
the metabolism of the human body. These
include conditions disrupting the normal
function of the thyroid, parathyroids,
pituitary, adrenal, hypothalamus, ovaries,
testes and the endocrine pancreas, as well
as diseases that change the way the body regulates its internal
environment.
Two primary areas of focus for Dr. Bales are diabetes and
polycystic ovary syndrome. She will coordinate care with
primary care providers as well as Kadlec’s Diabetes Learning
Center.
Kadlec Clinic Endocrinology is located at
780 Swift Boulevard, Suite 130, Richland. Patients are
seen by referral. For more information call
(509) 942-3244

the vascular surgery services — including

patients to remain in the community
for care.
Vascular surgery and services include treatment
for peripheral vascular disease, carotid stenosis and
endarterectomy, abdominal aortic aneurysm, balloon
angioplasty and stenting procedures for narrowed or blocked
arteries, varicose veins, evaluations for minimally invasive
treatments and diagnosis, staging and medical management of
circulation disorders.
Dr. Lee will be working closely with primary care providers
