Interstate Health has recently established a fresh medical facility in Port Wentworth, Georgia, designed to cater to the healthcare needs of a diverse group of individuals, including commercial drivers, local residents, and transportation professionals who frequently visit the area.
Situated on the grounds of the Port Fuel Center at the junction of Grange Road and Georgia Highway 21 near Interstate 95, this state-of-the-art clinic occupies a brand-new 2,100-square-foot building. The total investment in this healthcare facility exceeds $1 million.
Operating hours for this new clinic are from Monday to Friday, starting at 8 a.m. and concluding at 5 p.m. EST. The services offered encompass Department of Transportation assessments, pre-employment physicals, preventive healthcare, wellness check-ups, vaccinations, medication management, and a range of other medical services.
“Port Wentworth is a vibrant community serving one of the largest and fastest-growing ports in the country,” said Jeff Seraphine, Interstate Health chief executive officer. “As we continue to evaluate new locations where we can meaningfully bring our mission to life, the Port Fuel Center in Port Wentworth hits the mark. We are eager to serve the many drivers and other transport professionals who frequent the port, as well as the growing local community.”
Interstate Health initiated its operations in November 2022 and has been swiftly expanding its presence in the healthcare industry. Notably, the company acquired the Occupational Health Center in Cookeville, Tennessee, and also established a clinic in Racine, Wisconsin. Remarkably, the Port Wentworth clinic stands out as the company’s maiden venture in greenfield development, setting the standard for upcoming locations, as stated by the company.
“When we opened Port Fuel Center, we had a vision to serve our community and those who travel through – especially truck drivers going to and from the port – by creating an accessible option for basic needs like fuel, restrooms and food,” said Yash Desai, partner at Port Fuel Center. “When we met the Interstate Health team and heard their mission, there was clear alignment. We are proud to partner with Interstate Health opening this clinic on the Port Fuel Center property and are eager to watch the impact it makes.”
