Baylor Scott & White Health today announced the rollout of five primary care clinics in Tom Thumb stores throughout North Texas. The first clinic, located in the Tom Thumb at 315 S. Hampton Road, opened this week in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, while four additional clinics will open during April and May.
The clinics are operated by the health care system's affiliate, HealthTexas Provider Network (HTPN), a multi-specialty medical group that employs more than 1,300 providers practicing in the North Texas area.
A first of its kind offering from the largest not-for-profit health care system in the state, Baylor Scott & White Convenient Care Clinics were developed in an effort to serve more communities via primary care clinics located in areas where North Texans are living and working.
"Through the new collaboration with Tom Thumb, we're able to offer quality, affordable basic primary care treatment in convenient locations," said F. David Winter, MD, President and Chairman, HTPN. "Each clinic will be open seven days a week, making routine primary care services even more accessible."
Baylor Scott & White Convenient Care Clinics will offer services including treating minor illnesses and injuries, chronic disease management, immunizations, physicals and health screenings. In addition, any patient that receives care at the clinics will be connected to the greater network of primary care and specialty care physicians via Baylor Scott & White's electronic health record system.
"Tom Thumb is honored to partner with Baylor Scott & White to provide stellar, compassionate health care to our customers," said Dennis Bassler, President, Tom Thumb. "Since we opened our doors in 1948, our goal has been to provide superior customer service. We look forward to this new opportunity to take care of our customers in collaboration with Baylor Scott & White."
