Dosher Wellness Center Breaks Ground Near St. James Plantation

WILMINGTON NC RETIREMENT -  MEDICAL EXPANSION

Brick by brick, a new medical complex on Middleton Road is nearing completion near the entrance to St. James Plantation in Brunswick County, North Carolina. We attended the ground breaking ceremony in October. The two-story, 26,000-square foot clinic is expected to open in the fall of 2016. It will be home to outpatient services including primary care, cardiology, cardiac rehabilitation, physical therapy, x-ray, primary care and rotating specialists. The new medical facility catering to retirees and families is another reason why this area is home to one of the best coastal towns in North Carolina.

The $6 million project is financed by Dosher Memorial Hospital, St. James and Summit Healthcare Group. After the initial construction phase is completed, Dosher, known for its caring medical staff, will invest another $1.9 million to equip the facility for the specific wellness services offered. The goal of the clinic is to provide primary health services to people living in the surrounding areas.
