Our Spring Park Clinic will permanently close on March 28, 2025, with services moving to our Minnetonka location. Thank you for your support. Ridgeview Westonka clinic remains open and available to continue serving the community. Spring Park Clinic Closure: What Patients Need to Know Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Dear Wayzata Children’s Clinic Families, We want to share some important news with you regarding our Spring Park location . After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to permanently close this clinic. We want to clarify that only Wayzata Children’s Clinic will be closing in this building. Ridgeview Westonka clinic remains open and available to continue serving the community. Our last day of patient visits will be Thursday, March 27 , and the clinic will officially close on Friday, March 28 . We understand this may come as a disappointment, and we truly appreciate the trust you have placed in us to care for your children. Your family's health and well-being have always been at the heart of what we do, and we are grateful for the many memories we've shared with you over the years at our Spring Park clinic. At Wayzata Children’s Clinic, our goal is to provide the highest quality care while ensuring convenient access for all our families. Since reopening the Spring Park facility, many of our patients had already transitioned to other WCC providers and locations during the initial closure and chose to continue their care there. As a result, our patient numbers have remained lower than expected and have not grown as anticipated, making it unsustainable to maintain operations. After evaluating patient needs and the region’s growth trends, we made the thoughtful decision to consolidate our Spring Park team into our Minnetonka location to continue offering the best possible care. Both Tanya Liberato, MD and Jen LeGare, FNP-BC will be continuing to provide care at our Minnetonka location. This closure will not affect services or care at any of our other Wayzata Children’s Clinic locations. We remain dedicated to providing the same high-quality, compassionate pediatric care you trust at our Minnetonka, Chaska, Delano, and Maple Grove locations. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your family’s healthcare journey in Spring Park for the past 18 years. While this decision was not easy, we believe it will help us continue to provide exceptional pediatric care for years to come. We hope to continue caring for your family and look forward to seeing you at one of our other locations!

He was accepted into the University of Minnesota Medical School after his undergraduate studies. With a strong interest in pediatrics from an early age (he told his 6th grade teacher he was going to be a pediatrician!), Shane was selected to participate in an innovative, competency-based, pediatric-focused program called Education in Pediatrics Across the Continuum (EPAC) which allowed him to earn his medical degree in 2017. He continued on at the University of Minnesota to complete his pediatric residency training in 2020 before joining Wayzata Children's Clinic. Shane enjoys taking care of children of all ages and has special interests in adolescent medicine, mental health care, weight management/nutrition and medical education. He is passionate about partnering with patients and families in their healthcare journey and empowering them to make decisions that optimize their physical, mental and emotional health in the context of their unique situation. Shane currently lives in Minneapolis with his wife, Caitlin (a high school teacher at Minnetonka High School), and their Bernese Mountain Dog, Teddy. When not at work, Shane enjoys cooking, exploring new restaurants, traveling, attending concerts, and hopelessly cheering on all things Minnesota sports. Back to Providers

Ilene is board-certified in pediatrics, and her interests include trauma-informed care, neurodiversity, and early childhood development. She lives in St Louis Park with her husband Patrick and their twins Mia and Jacob and spends most of her free time reading, cooking, and visiting local food markets on her travels. Back to Providers

20, 21 years (male) Nutrition Try to eat 3 healthy meals a day and make this a habit for life. Your performance in school and at work and even during your free time activity still depends on your diet. Even if you feel you are done growing (or close to being done) you still need 3-4 foods a day high in calcium to support the completion of your bone growth and density and continued bone strengthening. Also, 2-3 iron-rich foods a day are still recommended to support your blood. Read food labels to see how much fiber you need and how much you are actually getting — fiber is known to prevent colon cancer and heart disease. Avoid the "traps" that often affect people your age out on their own. Junk foods taste great but can deprive your body of what it really needs and can put on the excess weight (as can alcohol). Also, avoid habits that will be tough to break later on, such as eating in a rush or in front of the TV, or eating when stressed or while studying. If you are unhappy with your appearance or performance, take a good look at your eating and see what you could change. There is no vitamin or "energy" supplement nearly as good as just eating a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water, and exercising regularly. This becomes even more important if you are a college student or at a job where you feel you are not as active as you used to be (or would like to be). See your dentist every six months for regular cleanings and exams. Wellness Visits Keeping your body on a fairly regular wake/sleep schedule (even on weekends) will help you get the sleep you need. Try not to save all of your "think time" and studying for bedtime — it often delays falling asleep. Sleep Always wear your seatbelt in the car and your helmet when biking or in- line skating. NO ONE thinks an accident will happen to them. Wear sunscreen if you are outside. A great tan is not worth cancer. Take your body seriously. Tobacco, drugs, and irresponsible alcohol use change lives, and usually not for the better. Far too many adults have regrets about past decisions they wish they could change. If you feel you have made a past mistake, re-contract with yourself and make better future decisions. If you are sexually active, or planning to be, be smart and responsible. If you have questions about sex, your sexuality, HIV, pregnancy, STDs, drugs, alcohol, or tobacco, please talk with another adult whom you trust and respect. If you live away from home and return for a visit, expect that your parents will still want to know where you are and who you're with (yes, they have their own adjustments to make regarding your independence at home!). More injuries occur in unorganized sports ("pick-up games" or "a quick jog") than ever before. Warm-up and stretch well before any exercise. Safety Continue to prioritize your demands — the ones you place on yourself as well as the ones others place on you. You will find that balancing all the parts of your life (including your free time) is the key. Try to talk to your family frequently, even if by phone. You may be surprised by how many more agreements you have now! This can be a fabulous, and stressful, time. On one hand, increasing independence and decision-making power is great. On the other hand, stresses of school and money, lack of familiar support, and increasing responsibilities and uncertainty can take their toll. If you are finding yourself getting stressed out more than you feel you should or can reasonably handle, please talk to someone. A friend, parent, favorite professor or coach, counselor, or health care provider can offer support and help. Social, Family, & School You have probably gone through most of your growth by now, but your body will continue to "proportion" itself for years. It is recommended that all men do routine monthly self-testicular exams. Some men are uncomfortable doing this at first, but we will teach you how to do this and discuss why it is important, even at your age. Testicular cancer affects younger men more than older men. This is a good time to start making your own health appointments(if you haven't already) and looking into an adult health clinic. Be sure you have a copy of your health history (including vaccines) as you move away from home. We recommend yearly physicals. Please call with any concerns you have about yourself.
