Patients of Wodonga West Medical Clinic have noted much change in the past four years.
The clinic, located on Waratah Way, was renovated in 2013.
Practice manager Rechelle Smullen said this renovation was completed with the assistance of federal government funding to enable the clinic "to provide better services for our patients with chronic diseases".
But this year has also seen change at the clinic.
Mrs Smullen said there was a full renovation of the two units on site completed in June 2017, allowing for the opportunity to provide an additional range of complementary services to the clinic's patients.

These complementary services consist of:
Personal Best Physiotherapy: Mrs Smullen said highly trained physiotherapists were on hand to assist with injury management and chronic disease needs; and
Dorevitch Pathology: A collection centre is open 8.30am to 4.30pm weekdays for the convenience of patients.
The special services that Wodonga West Medical Clinic provides are:
Full travel medicine services: Mrs Smullen said this included all vaccines and medications for travel needs being on-site.
"There is no need for a trip to the chemist and then a return trip to the clinic for your vaccinations," she said.
"Our travel medicine specialist has access to the most current health information for your travel destinations and can provide the most up-to-date travel health advice."
Weight management clinic: This clinic is run by Dr Sartori.
Mrs Smullen said it was now recognised that obesity was the most preventable cause of chronic illness.
"Dr Sartori has responded to this challenge with this clinic," she said.
Occupational health services: Mrs Smullen said this included Q fever screening, occupational injury management, pre-employment medicals and screening tests on site during drug screens.
Wodonga West Medical Clinic now offers 10 examination rooms, a two-bed treatment room and upgraded waiting areas that can seat 42 patients at one time. There is also a children's play area.
