Family Practice Physician

Unique Setting, Cutting Edge Model

The Area - Greenville & Washington County

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. Learn more here .

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.
