BRENTOOD, Tenn. — Residents at The Heritage at Brentwood, a Life Care ServicesTM community, will no longer need transportation for routine doctors' visits. Made possible through a partnership between The Heritage and Williamson Medical Group, The Heritage will open a first-of-its-kind full walk-in-clinic located in the Clubhouse at the heart of the community.
The new walk-in clinic, opening to residents of The Heritage at Brentwood on Wednesday, Sept. 2, will provide healthcare services and treatments including: physicals, electrocardiograms (EKGs), lab testing, steroid injections, antibiotic prescriptions, suture removals and ear wax cleanings. Additionally, the clinic will offer flu, shingles and pneumonia vaccinations.
"The Heritage is the first active senior living community in Tennessee to partner with a medical group and open a walk-in-clinic specifically for its residents - giving them immediate access to a dedicated primary care physician," said Dahlen Jordan, administrator of The Heritage at Brentwood. "We are thrilled to partner with the Williamson Medical Group who has a longstanding tradition of providing quality care to patients across Middle Tennessee."
The Heritage's walk-in clinic, operated by Williamson Medical Group, will be open Monday-Friday from 1-5 p.m. The nurse practitioner, Rupa Grummon, will be on site Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 1-5 p.m., and the primary care physician, Don Vollmer, M.D., will see patients on Wednesday from 1-5 p.m.
"Thanks to our partnership, residents at The Heritage will not only benefit from the medical physician on site, but they will have better access to Williamson Medical Group's complete physician network, including specialists," said Tim Burton, associate administrator for operations at Williamson Medical Center. "This improved access will give residents the ability to streamline healthcare providers and medical records, which can lead to more efficient and effective care."
