FISHERSVILLE, Virginia— Augusta Health is excited to announce the opening of the new Community Clinic, which will begin seeing patients on July 1st. The Augusta Health Community Clinic is a primary care facility for adults focusing on a patient-centered approach in an all-inclusive environment with timely access to services. It is located at 78 Medical Center Drive on the 2nd floor of the Heart and Vascular Center. Resident physicians at the Augusta Health Community Clinic will address the community’s healthcare needs as part of the Augusta Health Internal Medicine Residency program. The clinic will be open on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Key Highlights of the Community Clinic
- The Community Clinic’s dedicated team of resident physicians, medical students, advanced practice provider students, medical assistants, nurses, case managers, and experienced clinicians work together to provide high-quality care. This approach is centered around the patient, ensuring that healthcare needs and preferences are always our top priority.
- The clinic addresses a wide range of medical needs, including:
- chronic/routine conditions: high blood pressure, heart disease, or asthma
- acute care: head colds, rashes, and achy joints.
- preventative services: annual wellness checks, screenings, and immunizations
- Whether a person requires routine check-ups, management of chronic conditions, or urgent medical attention, the Community Clinic can be their primary care home.
- Augusta Health acknowledges that healthcare affordability is a concern for many individuals. While insurance is not required for appointments, patients can apply for financial assistance. Please note that the clinic is not free, and patients will be billed for their visits.
The Augusta Health Internal Medicine Residency Program emphasizes a collaborative approach to patient care, with resident physicians and highly trained, board-certified community providers working together to ensure continuity in care. This team-based model ensures that the clinic is consistently staffed with dedicated, knowledgeable healthcare professionals, creating a unique learning environment that fosters innovation and excellence in patient care. “I am excited to be part of the new Community Clinic and Residency Program,” said Isaac Izzillo, RN, MSN, Augusta Health Director of Public and Primary Care Services at Augusta Health. “The clinic will meet our community’s primary care needs by offering high-level care by skilled faculty and residents.
