In October of 2014,
Jackson Hospital announced
a new joint venture partner-
ship with All Med physicians.
This partnership will enable
both organizations to provide
better access to healthcare for
the River Region.
Jackson Hospital and All
Med share common founda-
tions that make this union a
natural fit. Both locally owned
organizations set patient care
as their highest priority and
have been actively expanding
healthcare services through-
out the community. Rather
than working independently,
combining resources and
efforts will benefit pa-
tients greatly at all levels of
medicine.
Accessible care,
across the board
“The partnership between
Jackson Hospital and All Med
was created from our mutual
goal to enhance access to
both primary and specialty
care services,” said Joe Riley,
CEO of Jackson Hospital.
“As two organizations with
a long history of providing
high-quality care for the River
Region, we’re looking forward
to meeting our patients’ needs
together.”
This partnership will link
All Med patients directly with
Jackson Hospital’s specialists,
outpatient imaging centers,
diagnostic centers and hospi-
talists. “Most people have a
hard time understanding the
healthcare system. We try to
make things simple for pa-
tients,” said Curt McLemore,
MD, of All Med. “We provide
a unique service for patients
and are able to expedite next
levels of care in all specialties.
This partnership will make
that connection even easier.”
Don Brobst, MD, All Med
medical director, agrees. “We
have been very impressed
with the Jackson medical staff
and how much they have
reached out to us,” he said.
“It is clear that they share
our core values and commit-
ment to this community. This
partnership will help us meet
the challenges presented by
STRONGER
Jackson Hospital and All Med join forces for patient-centered care
the Affordable Care Act and
other changes being intro-
duced by insurers.”
Coming soon
All Med and Jackson Hos-
pital have now committed
to building a new All Med
walk-in primary care center
off Highway 14 in Millbrook,
to be known as All Med at
Millbrook.
The 6,500-square-foot
walk-in primary care facility
is expected to open in August
2015. The facility will be
fully equipped with all-new
diagnostic equipment and will
operate seven days a week,
from 7am to 7pm Monday
through Friday and 8am to
5pm on weekends. All Med at
Prattville on East Main Street
will remain open 24/7/365,
for continued service after
hours.
The organizations also
plan to break ground on a
freestanding location in East
Montgomery, which is set to
open in August as well.
