Blue Ridge Health-Highlands Cashiers Office Opens
Written By: Luke Osteen | Issue: Whats News
The new Blue Ridge Health-Highlands Cashiers office will offer comprehensive medical services to all local residents. For appointments or more information, call 828-482-6160. If you’d like to provide financial support, visit highlandscashiershealthfoundation.org.
Highlands Cashiers Health Foundation made good on its goal of providing a wide spectrum of health services for all ages with Thursday’s opening of its comprehensive family medicine center, Blue Ridge Health-Highlands Cashiers, in Suite 204 at 209 Hospital Drive (The Jane Woodruff Building).
“I’m excited to join this tight-knit community and use my skills to treat everything from a sprained ankle to a mother-to-be,” said Dr. Kristy Fincher, who’s on the staff with Dr. Ann Davis.
That optimism was shared by Dr. Davis, who said, “I am committed to partnering with patients to help them live their healthiest life.”
For those of us on the Plateau (and seasonal residents and those just passing through), it means that Blue Ridge Health-Highlands Cashiers is offering primary care, chronic disease management, treatment for acute illnesses and minor injuries, physical exams, sports medicine, women’s services, healthy lifestyle and nutrition programs, and health screenings.
Of course, all of this comes with a large price tag, but members of the Highlands Cashiers Health Foundation are confident that generous public support will keep this practice in robust financial help for generations to come.
“As in any venture there is risk, and the (Highlands Cashiers) Health Foundation has agreed to this heavy financial investment in our community’s health because the project could never be started otherwise,” said Dr. Walter Clark, the chairman of the HCHF Board.
The practice’s office is open from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday. It accepts private insurance, including Blue Cross/Blue Shield, as well as Medicaid and Medicare, and even treats those with no insurance. For an appointment or more information, call 828-482-6160.
Same-day appointments are available and, of course, new patients are welcome.
