Dr. Alan Lim, a familiar face around Heart of America Johnson Clinic, has officially joined the Heart of America Surgical Clinic team.

Having practiced urology in Minot for 38 years, Dr. Lim has retired his practice there and will now only see patients in Rugby. Prior to this, he had been seeing patients in Rugby for 27 years as a visiting specialist. He will see patients at Heart of America Surgical Clinic the first Thursday and Friday of each month, beginning in December.

"The doctors and hospital in Rugby have been very supportive of me, which is why I wanted to continue seeing patients here even after closing my practice in Minot," says Dr. Lim.

Dr. Lim completed his undergraduate and doctoral degrees at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg. He is certified by the America Board of Urology and in 1976 received an American College of Surgery Fellowship. He has held several local and state leadership positions, including chief of staff at Trinity Hospital in Minot, North Dakota Blue Cross Blue Shield board member, and chairman of Dakota Care Physicians, Minot.

Dr. Lim sees patients with any type of urology issue. He routinely performs a variety of outpatient urological surgeries in HAMC's operating room.

"We are very excited to have Dr. Lim on our team," says Deb Schmaltz, Heart of America Surgical Clinic supervisor. "Many of our patients already know him, and we are looking forward to expanding his patient base here in Rugby."
