Simplicity Health

To those who celebrate, Happy Easter!

Thanks to all our fabulous doctors who help make Simplicity special!

A message from the Johnson family:

"We are heartbroken beyond words by the tragic and senseless loss of our beloved daughter, Hallie Marie.
Hallie was a bright light in our lives and in the lives of so many others. She was kind, compassionate, and full of promise. The pain of losing her in this way is something no family should ever have to endure, and we are still struggling to comprehend this unimaginable reality.
We want to express our deepest gratitude to our family, friends, and even strangers for the overwhelming outpouring of love, prayers, and support. Your messages, tributes, and acts of kindness have brought us comfort and your prayers are sustaining us as we navigate this difficult journey. We are also thankful to law enforcement for their ongoing efforts.
As we grieve and begin the difficult process of laying our daughter to rest, we respectfully ask for privacy from the media during this incredibly painful time.
In the midst of this tragedy, we also want to acknowledge the importance of mental health support. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to a trusted professional, counselor, or local mental health service for help.
Right now, our focus is on honoring Hallie’s memory and supporting all those whose lives she touched during this devastating loss. We ask that everyone keep our daughter in their thoughts and remember her for the beautiful person she was.
Thank you for your understanding and compassion.
Sincerely,
The Johnson Family"

Your Simplicity family is with you.

Simplicity Health is proud to welcome two new providers to our clinic, Amanda Paradis, PA-C and Benjamin Hageman, PA-C!

Amanda joins Simplicity Health with 9 years of experience as a Physician Assistant in Primary Care. She graduated from MSU-Moorhead with a bachelor’s degree in biology with an emphasis in Health and Medical Sciences. She then went on to obtain her Masters from Bethel University in St. Paul Minnesota.
Amanda went into family medicine because she enjoys seeing patients of all ages. “Working in family medicine allows me to see patients at all stages and walks of life, while learning their stories. One of the most rewarding parts of my job, is growing alongside the patient.” She especially enjoys managing care for newborns and children, as well as women’s health. She also performs office-based procedures such as joint injections, mole/skin lesion removals, ear piercing etc.
When not working, Amanda enjoys the Great Outdoors – lakes, hiking, camping, etc. – and spending time with her husband, daughter, and two dogs.

Ben Hageman completed his PA graduate studies at Bethel University and has practiced full-time family medicine since 2019. Ben’s favorite aspect of primary care is the opportunity to empower patients to take charge of their health and support them in their journey. His clinical interests include acute care diagnostics and management, chronic disease management from all walks of life, and in-office skin and joint procedures. He is a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants.
Ben grew up in central Minnesota and was drawn to Simplicity Health because of their commitment to a provider-patient relationship, expanding medical care options to the St. Cloud area, and its track-record for excellence. Outside of work, Ben enjoys spending time with his wife, three sons, and family and friends. Some of his hobbies include going to “the lake,” hunting whitetails, woodworking, tennis, gaming, “nerding” out, and reading and writing fantasy novels.

Welcome Amanda and Ben! We look forward to all you will bring to our patient community!

Simplicity Health is incredibly saddened to announce the passing of Jessica Williams, CNP, our Women's Health Practitioner.

Jessica bravely fought but lost her battle with cancer on December 20th. She joined Simplicity Health last January as a Nurse Practitioner specializing in women's specific medical needs. She was a bright light and a warm smile in our hallways, and a solid and comforting presence for her patients.

Simplicity would like to thank her husband and three children for sharing her with us. We will remember her fondly.

Simplicity Health will be closed on New Years Eve, 12/31 and New Years Day, 1/1 to allow our staff time to spend with family.

We will reopen for patient appointments on Friday, January 2nd.

Be safe and Happy New Year, everyone!
