EXPANDING CARE FOR A GROWING COMMUNITY

It’s easy to talk about caring for the community, but Williamson Health’s commitment to the residents of Williamson County is more than words. Now with more than 30 locations across the county—ranging from the system’s flagship acute-care hospital to orthopaedic urgent care and rehabilitation services, 18 Emergency Medical Services (EMS) rapid response units, numerous physician practices and more Williamson Health is elevating excellence in healthcare once again with the system’s newest clinic in Spring Hill.

“As Spring Hill continues to grow, we’re prepared to provide top-tier healthcare services to its residents,” said Phil Mazzuca, Williamson Health CEO. “We’ve been carefully planning and building this new clinic for more than a year and are proud to expand access to exceptional care throughout Williamson County.”

The new clinic, which offers primary care and other specialists, laboratory services, orthopaedic care and physical therapy, is one of five Williamson Health locations in the rapidly growing Spring Hill community. It joins another primary care, a walk-in clinic, and two EMS stations, all focused on ensuring residents can get exceptional care close to home.

“With the continued population growth in Spring Hill, the expansion of primary care physicians and services for this community has been a top priority,” said Tim Burton, associate administrator of Williamson Health Medical Group. “Our new clinic is open and ready to care for new patients who may have been delaying primary care for a variety of reasons or who simply want to stay closer to home for their doctors’ appointments.”

The new clinic is staffed by several providers who are already active members of the Spring Hill community. Spring Hill and Thompson’s Station residents and Williamson Health Medical Group physicians Paula Dunn, M.D., and Sanford Kim, M.D., are based in the new clinic, which provides primary care, family and internal medicine, as well as laboratory services.

Bone and Joint Institute of Tennessee also offers orthopaedic urgent care, physical therapy and an orthopaedic physician clinic at the new location, staffed by Matt Anderson, M.D., who specializes in sports medicine, and Preet Gurusamy, M.D., a joint replacement specialist. Andrea Pierce, PT, and Angel Shipman, PTA, both of whom are longtime Spring Hill residents, will provide physical therapy services.

“As a resident of Spring Hill, I love that the new clinic allows patients south of Franklin to receive the medical care and rehabilitation they need without the stress of traffic or the need to miss work or school because of our convenient location and hours,” Pierce said.

Dr. Anderson is set to serve as the team physician for Summit High School during the 2024-2025 school year. He’s excited to embrace additional ways to serve the Spring Hill community.

“A lot of our patients currently live in Spring Hill or commute from further south,” Dr. Anderson said. “So, to bring a clinic location closer to the patient population is really exciting. I’ll also be closer to the athletes and students for whom I provide care, so it’s nice to feel like I’m a bigger part of the community and playing a role in providing more convenient care for our patients.”

Spring Hill residents are receiving a top-notch patient experience and highquality care at the clinic. The space is brand new, the providers said, with stateof-the-art equipment and technologies. “Having orthopaedic specialists, physical therapists, and primary care providers in the same building also offers patients greater access to comprehensive care,” Dr. Anderson said.

“There is a tremendous amount of collaboration and synergy between providers,” said Dr. Anderson. “So, if a patient presenting for a routine checkup has a muscular or skeletal issue, it will be easy to set up a seamless consult and transfer. This new clinic really serves as a comprehensive center for health maintenance for Spring Hill residents.”
