Family Practice Physican

Family Practice Physician

Unique Setting, Cutting Edge Model

Settled by the French, once inhabited by the Natchez tribe, Greenville, Mississippi was settled by General Nathaniel Green as a grant directly from George Washington, his personal friend. Destroyed during the Civil War battle of Vicksburg, the town is in its third incarnation as a virile music and arts community. Sitting as it does on the edge of Lake Ferguson and the "mighty" Mississippi River, the area is a wellspring of music, literature, adventure, imagination and history. Here you can explore a mile of museums by day and eat dinner and enjoy the blues on a Steamboat by night.

Practice Setting Cutting Edge

As rural hospitals struggle to survive, innovative and entrepreneurial models for delivering rural medicine are thriving. This model combines personalized care and "customer service" with high-tech telemedicine including video visits and e-prescription. Rather than waiting for an appointment or talking to a physician you don't know the same local providers are available face to face in our virtual care clinic, depending on what is required.
