Quality of Life to Celebrate Opening of Douglas Medical Center

The opening ceremony of the Douglas Medical Center will be held on Wednesday, March 4 at 2:00 in the afternoon at the new clinic located at 8225 Highway 75 in Horton. Mr. Wayne C. Rowe, Chief Executive Officer of Quality of Life Health Services, Inc. will act as Master of Ceremonies. Also scheduled to speak are Mayor Paula Phillips, Mr. Rusty Freeman, Mr. Lloyd Richey, Dr. Inkil Hwangpo, and Rev. Willis B. Kelly. Keyesta Sherman, president of the Boaz Chamber of Commerce will cut the ribbon. After the brief ceremony, tours of the facility will be offered along with refreshments provided by Olan Grimes of the Douglas Café.

“It is exciting to have the opportunity to locate a Quality of Life primary care center in Marshall County for the first time in our thirty year history. While residents of Marshall County have utilized services at our Sardis City and Walnut Grove locations, this site will allow improved medical access for the Douglas/Horton area. Our organization looks forward to working within the confines of the existing health care system in Marshall County by coordinating patient care with the local hospital, local pharmacy and the existing community service agencies in the area, “said Mr. Rowe.

Employees of Douglas Medical Center include Lisa King, Medical Team Secretary; Sonya Armstrong, Certified Nursing Assistant; Kathy Downey, LPN; Victoria Minter, Certified Nurse Practitioner and Dr. Inkil Hwangpo, Physician of Internal Medicine. The medical team will provide basic family medical care, basic laboratory services, well-child screening, chronic disease management and patient education. Linked to the Douglas Pharmacy, Douglas Medical Center accepts most private insurance as well as Medicaid and Medicare. The center will be open Wednesdays from 8:00 until 5:00 and other days to be scheduled at a later date. For an appointment or more information, please call 256-593-3804.
