MedLink Georgia held a grand opening for its new facility in Cleveland on Thursday. Medlink operates primary care clinics across North Georgia, offering a sliding scale fee for those who qualify. This is the eleventh site serving over 20,000 patients in the region.
According to wrwh.com, MedLink CEO Dave Ward said it’s been part of MedLink’s strategic plan to come to White County for many years. He adds, he hopes the new center in Cleveland will make a positive impact. “It’s a privilege to come here and offer the services. You know, community health centers offer not only primary care, we’ll bring in other services as needed; things like pediatric, women’s wellness, occupational health” and more.
Ward also pointed out that MedLink also offers help to people choosing their insurance plans through the federal insurance exchange. “We have licensed navigators on staff that will come and work and set up appointments in our centers, as well,” he said.
Along with city and county officials on hand for the celebration, State Representative Terry Rogers said MedLink will be good for the county. Rogers said, “As we all know, health care is a growing problem in this country and what Medlink does is phenomenal and I echo both the Mayor and Commissioner Goodger in saying, thank you for being here, and we look forward to a long and profitable relationship in White County.”
The White County Medlink clinic is located in the former Cleveland Family Practice office on North Main Street in Cleveland. MedLink also has facilities in Habersham, Banks and Rabun Counties — among others.
