After two full months of welcoming new patients, Mercy is ready to officially cut the ribbon and bless its latest primary care clinic in Lebanon.
The Mercy Lebanon Primary Care Clinic opened this July after Dr. Greg Miller joined Mercy. Dr. Miller is a well-established provider in Lebanon, and several members of his clinical team including his physician assistant Dave Eastep and clinic manager Rachel Bailey followed him to Mercy after leaving Lake Regional.
Many of Dr. Miller’s patients followed him to his new clinic as well. After just two months at Mercy, Dr. Miller and Eastep have already cared for more than 500 patients at Mercy Lebanon Primary Care.
“The culture at Mercy was a big draw for me and my team,” Dr. Miller said. “We were also excited to join a larger health system where we have access to newer technology and medical resources that benefit our patients.”
Mercy Lebanon Primary Care Clinic came about after growth in patient demand. As more patients look for primary care providers, Mercy knew it needed more clinical space to accommodate patients and more providers to see them. “We were so excited to bring Dr. Miller to Mercy,” said Jason Wilson, administrator at Mercy Hospital Lebanon. “He isn’t just a fantastic physician, he’s a trusted member of the community. That goes a long way when you see patients from birth through their advanced years.”
To make room for Dr. Miller’s team and the patients who have followed him, Mercy remodeled one of its OB clinics. The new clinic now features 14 patient rooms and is equipped to handle expanded patient volume and the addition of occupational medicine services in the near future.
Mercy celebrated the opening of its new primary care clinic yesterday with a blessing and ribbon cutting. Community members and caregivers were invited to meet Dr. Miller as Mercy expands patient access to much-needed primary care services in the Lebanon area.
