Russell Medical says New Site health clinic highly probable within a year

In an effort to help provide medical service to even more rural residents in Tallapoosa County and the surrounding area, Russell Medical hopes to have a health clinic in New Site soon.

The idea of a health clinic and pharmacy has been discussed by the New Site Town Council for months going as far as looking at funding, grants and starting the building plans for a facility owned by the Town of New Site and leased to medical providers. New Site Mayor Phil Blasingame and others have been in discussions with Russell Medical about the facility to which Russell Medical CEO Jim Peace gave an update at the New Site Senior Center Wednesday.
