We live here, we love it here. The primary benefit of a private medical practice is that you get a higher level of care at a lower cost. We can be far more flexible than corporate medicine, and we don’t have to sacrifice care to edicts of any committee.
It’s really a much better way to provide holistic care to the community we serve.
Last week, athenahealth received the below linked “Notice to Impacted Customers” (“Notice”) from a business associate (Medlytix, Inc.) that had received it from Change Healthcare. The Notice identified Medlytix as a customer whose data was involved in the Change Healthcare security incident initially discovered on February 21, 2024.
The Notice does not explicitly identify impacted patients, so we are sharing its contents with our covered entity clients whose data was processed by Medlytix within the security incident window for completeness and out of an abundance of caution.

A Step Above LLC2024-07-10 Fantastic experience! Needed urgent care for an ear infection but decided to call Northstar. They got us in right away and worked with our insurance (it's a weird one). The dr even offered a medication to prevent swimmers' ear in the future, since it's something we deal with regularly. I'm thrilled that we decided to go here! 100% would recommend and we will return any time we visit this area. Jamie Norgard2024-06-22 We recently switched to Northstar for our family. Our previous provider left the clinic we were going to. It was so hard, after finding a provider you really trusted and having them leave. I am so happy we found North Star. Dr Kristy and Dr Ashley are amazing. I feel so comfortable and understood by them and have had amazing experiences. All of the staff is very welcoming and pleasant. After previous bad experiences at other local clinics I'm happy to say we have North Star for all of our families needs! ❤️ Chanelle Blaeser2024-06-21 So enjoy this clinic. I feel the dr here listens to me and understand my health and my concerns! Ashley Korhonen2024-06-20 Always a great experience! Staff is always helpful and friendly. Jamie Withrow2024-06-20 Dr Kristi and North Star Family Medicine has been a great fit for my entire family! As a parent I’m respected and encouraged in how I care for my kids, and as a patient I feel listened to and never rushed. Highly recommend! Kimberly Hunnel2024-06-20 The VA ordered an exam to be done by Ashley and I was so nervous- the type of exam I had was dealing with some very private and sensitive medical information. Previously I’ve experienced negative and rude responses from other providers so it was difficult to share but Ashley was exceptionally professional, kind, accepting, and incredibly thorough in her exam. She made me feel comfortable and at ease which I was very grateful for. I’ve told others about her and I look forward to receiving care at the clinic. Thank you for being wonderful! Lindsy Spilman2024-06-20 I needed an urgent care visit for my child and all the walk in clinics and urgent care were booked out or had 3-4 hour wait times. Decided to try North Star and loved it! Called for an appointment, they got us in right away and there was no wait time in the clinic! The staff was so friendly, helpful and welcoming! We have been back several times since and been pleased with every visit. Megan Barsness2024-06-19 North Star family Medicine has been a breath of fresh air, I love the private practice, family owned, personal experience, at NS it feels like we are more then just a name on a chart.
