CenterWell Senior Primary Care Bringing Seven Personalized Primary Care Centers to Middle Tennessee

/in , /by

CenterWell Senior Primary Care is opening seven new senior-focused primary care centers in middle Tennessee throughout 2023, giving local seniors access to a personalized, care-team approach to healthcare.

The upcoming June 28 and 29 grand openings at CenterWell Tusculum and Murfreesboro, respectively, mark the first two senior primary care centers in the area. The grand openings are from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and will include tours of the centers, low-impact exercise demonstrations with SilverSneakers, live music from ReWind, games, and free treats from Alley on Main.

CenterWell Senior Primary Care is the largest and one of the fastest-growing senior-focused, value-based care providers in the country. Together with its sister brand Conviva Care Center, CenterWell Senior Primary Care delivers care to seniors in more than 250 centers across 12 states, with plans to open 30-50 new centers per year through 2025.

“I’m excited to lead CenterWell Senior Primary Care in the place I’ve called home for 24 years,” said Jason Spector, Market President for Tennessee. “Our board-certified physicians and integrated care teams are set to deliver comprehensive, holistic care in seven state-of-the-art facilities, with Murfreesboro and Tusculum already seeing patients and five more centers opening this year. Whole-person care means we’re committed to addressing all the factors that affect the health and well-being of our patients and this community. I’m looking forward to expanding that care to Middle Tennessee seniors and helping break down barriers to healthcare in our underserved communities.”

Dr. Anitha Mullangi, CenterWell’s Chief Medical Officer for the Tennessee market, emphasized CenterWell’s focus on whole-person health.

“It’s so important how you relate to patients, how you understand them, their culture, and their needs, and CenterWell’s care model allows doctors to do this,” Mullangi said. “Our longer appointment times, the integrated care teams looking after the physical, social and emotional needs – all of which affect seniors’ overall health – help patients live healthier, happier lives. We are committed to providing that kind of excellent healthcare to seniors in our communities.”

All new CenterWell Senior Primary Care locations in middle Tennessee will be staffed by board-certified physicians, nurses, social workers, and medical assistants, and patients will have access to clinical pharmacists, behavioral health specialists and referral specialists, all who have been specially trained to treat the senior population. In addition to its healthcare offerings, CenterWell facilities include activity centers for local seniors.

CenterWell Tusculum, located at 4901 Nolensville Pike in Nashville, and CenterWell Murfreesboro, located at 1715 S. Rutherford Blvd., Suite A in Murfreesboro, began accepting patients in April. Other centers with planned openings this year include Clarksville, Hermitage, Lebanon, Madison and Smyrna. Full details will be released at a later date.

The Primary Care Organization of Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), which includes CenterWell Senior Primary Care, serves nearly 266,000 members from many different Medicare Advantage health plans, as well as some patients who have Original Medicare.

Bon Secours Mercy Health To Develop 30+ Ambulatory Surgery Centers Across Multiple States

/in , /by

Cincinnati-based Bon Secours Mercy Health System, a 48-hospital Catholic system, has teamed with Compass Surgical Partners to develop more than 30 ambulatory surgery centers across multiple states, the Triangle Business Journal reported on May 29.

Bon Secours Mercy Health is the latest system to form a strategic partnership to expand their outpatient presence and develop ASCs. Salt Lake City-based Intermountain Health and Columbus-based OhioHealth recently inked similar deals with Nashville, Tenn.-based Surgery Partners — one of the largest ASC chains in the U.S.

“Our view, over time, is that more complex procedures will come out of the hospitals,” Sean Rambo, president of Compass, told the publication. “Health systems are wanting to catch up and use this strategy to expand outside of hospital walls.”

Compass will work with Bon Secours Mercy Health of Ohio to develop the ASCs over the next few years throughout the system’s footprint, which includes Kentucky, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, New York and Florida, according to the report. The network could expand into other states, such as North Carolina.

“Providing quality outpatient surgical care is an important investment for the communities we serve, enabling us to expand access to care for patients in a way that is accessible and appropriate for their individual care needs,” Bon Secours Mercy Health COO Don Kline said in a news release. “Compass Surgical Partners’ expertise in creating patient-centered ambulatory surgical centers, coupled with their successful track record of leadership in this important space, makes them an ideal partner for this long-term initiative.”

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

NexCore Group Breaks Ground On Dallas-Area Medical Office Building

/in , /by

NexCore Group, on behalf of Hunt County Regional Hospital, has broken ground on the Hunt Regional Healthcare Medical Office Building, a 70,000-square-foot facility in Royse City, Texas.

The development team includes Hill & Wilkinson General Contractors and architecture firm Page Southerland Page. Delivery is expected in the fall of 2024.

In April, the City awarded a $925,000 cash incentive to NexCore Group for the development of the property. The project involves a $20 million capital investment.

Upon completion, the property will be home to an emergency facility, as well as to specialty practices including women’s care and orthopedics. Medical services provided will include diagnostic imaging, laboratory services and primary care.

The health-care facility is taking shape at the intersection of Interstate 30 and Shaw Road, some 30 miles from downtown Dallas. Other medical providers in the surrounding area include Royse City Dental Care, Royse City Emergency Hospital, Texas Health Family Care and Hunt Regional Family Medicine, among others.

NexCore Group currently has four other projects, located in Indiana, Colorado, Nevada and Arizona, in its development pipeline. The medical office buildings have a completion date set for the last quarters of 2023 and 2024.

Another medical office building broke ground near Dallas earlier this year. Caddis Healthcare Real Estate kicked off the construction of a 60,000-square-foot facility in Frisco, Texas.
