MedWest-Haywood is hosting an open house Thursday, Aug. 2, to celebrate the opening of its new Outpatient Care Center which is helping better serve healthcare needs in Haywood County by housing multiple services and being conveniently located on the MedWest-Haywood campus.
The Outpatient Care Center open house will be held from from 4 to 6 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 2 and will include a ribbon-cutting at 4 p.m. and musical entertainment by the bluegrass group Balsam Range.
The 42,000-square-foot medical office building is at 581 Leroy George Dr. on the MedWest-Haywood campus in Clyde, between the MedWest Health and Fitness Center and the hospital.
The Outpatient Care Center houses a state-of-the-art outpatient surgical center, laboratory services, diagnostic imaging services, women’s imaging services, Orthopaedic Therapy Services and Occupational Therapy/Hand Therapy Services, and the practice of Western Carolina Orthopaedic Specialists.
Western Carolina Orthopaedic Specialists, the practice of Christofer C. Catterson, MD, Paul J. Cutting, MD and Gerald W. King, MD, also is participating in the grand opening celebration.
“I am excited about the convenience the Outpatient Care Center is providing our current and future patients,” Catterson said. “Our patients will now have the opportunity to have their surgery, MRIs and physical therapy done all in one convenient location. Same-day office, radiographic and therapy appointments will be easier to accommodate and will allow us to evaluate and treat orthopedic problems in a more expedited manner.”
