The expansion of Jenkins County Medical Center’s Outpatient Therapy Clinic will increase the square footage of the outpatient therapy area and offer office space to specialty physicians and public health testing.

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 infrastructure for rural 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, Orthopedics, 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.
