Southern Hills Medical Center - Wallace Road Family Clinic
What is it?
Southern Hills Medical Center partnered with United Neighborhood Health Services to develop the Wallace Road Family Clinic, a program that provides convenient access to primary health services for patients who typically go unseen by a primary care physician. Appointments can be made, but walk-ins are welcome.
Who is it for?
All residents of Nashville and surrounding areas, regardless of their income or insurance.
Why do they do it?
The goal is to help the community better manage its health by addressing chronic conditions before they develop into life-threatening issues. This avoids costly emergency department (ED) visits and makes individuals, families, and ultimately the community, healthier.
Impact
Since 2010, the Wallace Road Family Clinic has seen an average of 15 to 17 patients daily, which originate from Southern Hills Medical Center ED.
