PRICE COUNTY - Some of us owe a lot to our health clinics for keeping us healthy enough to have birthdays every year.
One local health operation celebrates a big birthday of its own.
Marshfield Clinic turns 100 this December, but on Friday the clinics in Price County celebrated the milestone.
"We invited all of our community members along to celebrate this milestone because without our community members we wouldn't be here today," said operations manager Katie Weinberger.
In 1916 Marshfield Clinic started off with six doctors. Now the operation has facilities in more than 50 communities and more than 6500 employees.
"Share a little bit of history not only about Marshfield Clinic but about our Park Falls and Phillips clinics as well and how we have served our community," Weinberger said.
More than 60 people attended the event.

RHINELANDER - Construction did not stop Hodag pride Friday night.
Green and white spilled into downtown for Rhinelander's homecoming celebration.
The dance team showed off its moves and the football team rolled down Brown Street.
The homecoming parade got students, parents, and even grandparents to come out in support.
"I am here to see my grandson, he is on the court, "said Elsa Burke.
Hodag jerseys and green facepaint lined the street as the RHS band and flag twirlers marched.
There definitely was a lot to look at, but football seemed to be the only thing on some people's minds.
"To see the Hodags come home with a W. That would be good," said RHS student Jacob Mahner.
The varsity football game kicks off at 7 p.m. tonight against the Medford Raiders.
