Jenkins County Medical Center
(JCMC) is set to expand its
Outpatient Therapy Clinic at
the end of June. The building
will not only increase the square
footage of the outpatient therapy
area but also offer office space to
specialty physicians and public
health testing.
“We were awarded funds to
improve healthcare access
and infrastructure at Jenkins
County Medical Center. We
have outgrown our current
therapy space and needed to
improve the resources we offer
our patients and the community.
Stated Antoine Poythress, CEO
Of Jenkins County Medical
Center. “Patients need viable
options where they live to receive
treatment, vaccines and Specialty
Physician services
The funds to build the new
space are part of the American
Rescue Plan act. The design of
the grant was for prevention and
mitigation of COVID and to
enhance healthcare infrastmcture
for mral hospitals. The grant
was for all hospitals licensed
with the Georgia Department of
Community Health.
The addition of three medical
offices and suites will allow
JCMC to invite specialists from
other areas to see the patients
where they live. Patients can
do follow up care in a timelier
manner and continue to recover
without the burden of traveling
out of town. JCMC plans to
bring medical services including
Pain Management, Cardiology,
Orthopedic, and Urology to
Jenkins County. In addition,
JCMC will continue to serve
patients more efficiently by
setting up testing and screening
sites for public health issues like
the flu and COVID.
