The new, 3,480-square-foot center in Donelson is conveniently located in a shopping center anchored by Publix and will provide the same broad array of urgent care, well care and occupational health services found at the other area CareSpot locations, including on-site X-rays, vaccinations and lab testing. All the Middle Tennessee centers are affiliated with TriStar Health, which means that a large hospital and physician network of support is available for patients who choose to use it for specialized or follow-up care.

"Providing locations that are convenient and close to where people live and work is important to our customers. Once people experience how convenient healthcare can be, many customers actively refer CareSpot to others," said Paul Dickison, Vice President of Marketing for CareSpot.  "Adding Donelson to that mix simply brings added convenience for those in that community."

Patients also benefit from the convenience of new online and mobile scheduling tools. With CareSpot.com, customers can save a spot in line before walking in, or book an appointment for a future time or day from their computers or smartphones. These conveniences allow patients to spend more time at home and less time in the lobby. The center will also feature new check-in tablets for a nearly paperless, streamlined registration when patients arrive.

CareSpot offers treatment of non-emergent medical problems that can develop unexpectedly and require immediate attention, filling the gap between primary care physicians and hospital emergency rooms. 

"These urgent care centers will complement healthcare services provided by our network of primary care physicians," said Steve Corbeil, President of TriStar Health. "This partnership between TriStar Health and CareSpot offers patients the expertise of a proven network of urgent care centers combined with the broader resources of a large hospital system if a higher level of care is required."

CareSpot CEO Mike Klein adds, "We are pleased to open our 10th center in the Middle Tennessee area, allowing us to offer our services to even more communities in which TriStar Health already has a presence."
