Elliot Health System will open a 58,000-square-foot medical center in Bedford in January 2018 to expand services and provide access to primary care doctors, specialists, and ancillary services. “This facility is necessary to our growth model and to better serve the greater Bedford community as we uphold our mission to inspire wellness, heal our patients, and serve with compassion in every interaction,” says Jim Hood, chair of the Elliot board of directors.
Currently, Elliot has two family medicine offices and one pediatric office in Bedford. The two family medicine offices will be combined in the new facility and the pediatric office will also be relocated in the new center. Services, such as lab, mammography, x-ray, done density screening, and pharmacy, will also be included for better patient care. Finally, plans are still being made to determine the right specialist services to support the needs of the Bedford community.
“The community is demanding better access to primary care doctors and we are preparing to answer that call,” says Greg Baxter, MD, chief medical officer. “The location of this facility is ideal for patients and will improve access to high quality healthcare. In addition, we will provide lab, imaging, pharmacy and specialists in this location to complement the care being given in both the family medicine and pediatric offices that will be located here.”
