MEDINA — Orleans Community Health will open a new Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Clinic at Medina Memorial Hospital in November.
“We’re continually trying to bring services to our area that are both lacking and needed in the community,” said Marc Shurtz, CEO/CIO for Orleans Community Health. “Not only is this a valuable service, but the recent news of the clinic closing in Middleport makes it even more critical.”
The project will be led by Jill Klotzbach, FNP, a Western New York native. “My focus at the new ENT Clinic will be to offer high-quality care for all age groups, with an emphasis on ENT and allergy diagnosis,” she said.
Klotzbach, a graduate of Daemen College and St. John Fisher College, Klotzbach began her nursing career at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester and practiced in Ohio and Texas before returning to her roots. Her clinical background encompasses medical-surgical, dialysis, intensive care, long-term care, operating room, allergy, and ENT services.
Klotzbach has certifications from the National Certifying Board of Otorhinolaryngology and Head-Neck Nurses, the American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy, and the Council of Occupational Hearing Conservation.
