TRUSSVILLE, Ala.–The Trussville Area Chamber of Commerce celebrated the grand opening of Brookwood Baptist Health Primary Care Clinic in Trussville Tuesday morning.
“We’re so happy we’re in Trussville and I think the Trussville community will support our clinic and we’re just excited for Suzanne to be a presence here and we’re looking forward to watching it grow,” said Practice Manager Christina Burgess.
Suzanne Cantley will serve as the nurse practitioner at the clinic.
Cantley has been a nurse practitioner for 20 years and just recently earned her Doctor of Nursing Practice from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
In addition to offering primary care services to the community, she also has a passion for diabetes prevention and management.
“She’s very caring,” Burgess said. “If a patient comes in and has a high blood sugar, within a day or two she’s gonna call them herself sitting back there in her office, you know calling to check on your blood sugar. And there’s nothing extra in that, there’s no charge for that, it’s just she’s a caring person and so she does call and check on her patients.”
The clinic also has enough room for another provider and Burgess hopes they will have a physician in place by 2025.
“We just want to say welcome as well, we appreciate you choosing Trussville to open this location,” Mayor Buddy Choat said as he congratulated them and wished them luck.
“We’re excited to take care of you in your own backyard,” Cantley said.
The new clinic is located at 220 Main Street, Suite 112.
