Premier Service: One-stop medical facility nears opening
HIGH POINT, Nov 21, 2009 (High Point Enterprise - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) --
Convenient one-stop medical service has come to north High Point with the opening of Premier Medical Plaza.
In the next few months, the new 128,000-square-foot outpatient medical facility at 4515 Premier Drive will offer a range of medical services from primary and urgent care to outpatient services and diagnostic imaging. It also will include community and patient education rooms.
Many patients are expected to move their appointments to the new center because High Point Regional Health System and Cornerstone Health Care are the health care providers. Patients will be able to see several medical professionals in one visit. Cornerstone serves more patients in north High Point than anywhere else in the Triad. The network has more than 180 providers and 36 practices located in High Point, Jamestown, Archdale, Trinity, Thomasville, Asheboro and Winston-Salem.
"This is part of the trend of offering convenience similar to shopping at a mall," Darrell Deaton, HPRHS vice president said during a Saturday tour. "Many of the services and physicians patients rely on at High Point Regional will be here. This is a great opportunity for our market."
The first practices to move in include Deep River Family Medicine, Piedmont Centre Family and Sports Medicine, Cornerstone Premier Care, Premier Med Spa, Cornerstone Pediatrics at Premier, Cornerstone Internal Medicine at Premier and Cornerstone Urgent Care. Many of the offices will be open seven days a week.
"The new concept in medicine is integration of services," said Dr. Grace Terrell, president and CEO of Cornerstone Health Care. "In this economy, people can not always go to the doctor between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m."
The next wave of moves will occur after January, including the opening of satellite offices for Cornerstone specialty practices. Services planned or under consideration include a full-service in-vitro fertilization lab, as well as imaging and surgical services, a sleep lab, an ambulatory surgery center and a full-service imaging center, including CT, mammography, ultrasound, bone densitometry, X-ray and flouroscopy.
"We expect to be 95 percent occupied by April," said Dr. John Walker of High Point Gastroenterology and a leader of CHC Realty. "We have limited space left."
