Supporting Haywood County students

Taran Coleman, FNP-C, and his staff brought a donation of 800 Band-Aids to Haywood High School for teachers to have in their classrooms. We are proud to be able to support Haywood Tomcats and enjoy being a part of the Brownsville community!

We’re getting closer!

Construction of our new medical facility at 50 Capital Avenue in Jackson is coming along! The 55,000-square-foot building, on the northeast corner of I-40 and U.S. 412, will be large enough to host our Jackson providers and services under one roof.

We expect to move in later this year.
