Medical care is a necessary need for any community. But for the Plateau, convenient and quality health care has become a critical concern, as the area has struggled to retain quality medical professionals in recent years. Without doctors and nurses to provide the care we need, the whole community struggles.
It’s one of the main reasons the Highlands Cashiers Health Foundation partnered with Blue Ridge Health to open a primary health center on the plateau. Since launching in June, Blue Ridge Health – Highlands Cashiers has helped many Plateau residents receive the care they need to live healthy and well. Two primary care physicians, Dr. Ann Davis and Dr. Kristy Fincher, along with a team of highly equipped supporting staff, have risen to the care challenge, going above and beyond to meet their patient’s needs.
“I am committed to partnering with patients to help them live their healthiest lives,” says Dr. Davis.
“I am excited to join this tight-knit community and use my skills to treat everything from a sprained ankle to a mother-to-be,” adds Dr. Fincher.
Blue Ridge Health-Highlands Cashiers is a fixed-cost center, providing care for all patients, regardless of their ability to pay. To continue offering this essential service, HCHF relies on the generosity of our community to help fill the funding gap.
As you plan your year-end giving, please consider investing in the long-term health of the Plateau with a gift to the Highlands Cashiers Health Foundation.
