Williamson Medical Group (WMG) and The Heritage at Brentwood, a Life Care Services™ community, have partnered together to improve access to care and patient convenience by opening a full walk-in clinic within the active senior living community.

Beginning Sept. 2, residents won’t have to worry about transportation for routine doctor’s visits. Instead, the first-of-its-kind clinic is located within the clubhouse on property at The Heritage at Brentwood. The clinic offers a range of healthcare services and treatments including: physicals, electrocardiograms (EKGs), lab testing, steroid injections, antibiotic prescriptions, suture removals and ear wax cleanings. Additionally, the clinic will offer flu, shingles and pneumonia vaccinations.

“The Heritage is the first active senior living community in Tennessee to partner with a medical group and open a walk-in-clinic specifically for its residents – giving them immediate access to a dedicated primary care physician,” said Heritage Administrator Dahlen Jordan.

The walk-in clinic, operated by WMG, is open Monday-Friday. Don Vollmer, MD, will staff the clinic on Wednesdays, and nurse practitioner Rupa Grummon will be on site the remainder of the week.  

“Thanks to our partnership, residents at The Heritage will not only benefit from the medical physician on site, but they will have better access to Williamson Medical Group’s complete physician network, including specialists,” said Tim Burton, associate administrator for operations at WMG. “This improved access will give residents the ability to streamline healthcare providers and medical records, which can lead to more efficient and effective care.”
