A ribbon cutting will be held on February 28 to officially open Chipola Quick Care and the Chipola Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine Center.
The Jackson County Chamber of Commerce will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Feb. 28 to officially mark the opening of Jackson Hospital’s new Chipola QuickCare and its Chipola Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine Center in two suites at a new building on U.S. 90 near State Road 71, the eastern-most Interstate 10 route into and from Marianna.
The ceremony begins at 3:30 p.m. and runs through 5 p.m. Facility tours, giveaways and refreshments will follow the ribbon-cutting for the “soft opening,” according to Jackson Hospital spokesman Rosie Smith.
Hospital personnel have also arranged a preview day for media at the new facilities this week in advance of the ceremony.
The dual-purpose clinic provides a new east-end option for medical care and in a few months Jackson Hospital physician Dr. Murali Krishna is expected to move his practice to the neighborhood as well in space he has acquired in the Oak Station Shopping Plaza.
Smith said Krishna and his Nurse Practitioner Ashley Wester will continue operation of his Chipola Surgical and Medical Specialties practice at his current location on Jefferson Street until late March, when he expects to move to 4719 Highway 90, not far from the hospital’s new clinic. Dual board-certified in internal medicine and obesity medicine, Krishna continues to accept new patients as he prepares to make the shift. His phone number, 526-3314, and his fax number, 526-5022, will remain the same.
Smith said the hospital’s new Chipola QuickCare clinic will offer walk-in primary care medical services and is viewed as a complement to area physicians’ primary care practices in the area.
