The new addition to the Atlantic Medical Center opened on Wednesday and CCMH says it served its first patient in the new addition that day.

The addition expands Suite C at the medical center, creating a patient care area to be used primarily for obstetrics and gynecology services provided by Dr. James Brown.

The addition includes two patient exam rooms, one minor procedure room, one office and some storage space, bringing the total number of patient exam rooms in Suite C to eight. Suite C is also the area of AMC that is used for the evening clinic hours from 5 – 7 pm. Patients with evening appointments will come in directly through the new Suite C entrance.

Patients will drive past the north entrance, around the corner to the back of the building, and the Suite C entrance is on the right.

Assistant Administrator for Physician Clinics Sue Marsh says the addition will enhance the care provided by Dr. Brown and also others at the medical center by making more space available for patient care

The AMC addition is the first step to be completed in the Cass County Health System’s current construction and renovation project.
