Lake City medical, wellness center to hold ribbon cutting
View original article here.
The Live Oak Medical Center and iH3 Wellness Center will hold a
ribbon-cutting ceremony at 6 p.m. Oct. 27, the Greater Lake City
Chamber of Commerce has announced.
The 36,000-square-foot facility will offer sick-care, well-care
and rehabilitation under one roof at a nearly three-acre site at
148 Sauls St. in downtown Lake City.
"This is where healthcare is going," Dr. Albert Mims said Oct.
13.
Mims will practice at the new center along with Drs. Ernest
Atkinson, Richard Ellis and Wade Lamb. Mims said the doctors are
hoping more Lake City residents will receive their medical care in
their hometown instead of traveling to larger cities.
The facility and equipment are worth about $10 million, and the
center is projected to generate about $8 million a year, architect
Randy Key said in an e-mail interview earlier this year with the
News & Post.
The physicians at the center will have 25 to 30 employees,
wellness will offer 40 jobs, and physical therapy will employ four
to six people, according to Key.
Also involved in the project are Dr. Steve Imbeau and attorney Ben
Zeigler, both of Florence; Dr. Ann Kulze, a Charleston-based
physician and nutritionist; Dr. Eddie Phillips of Harvard Medical
School, also a physician and author of Exercise is Medicine; and
Dan Lynch of VisionBridge wellness management in Fairfield,
Conn.
