Archbold Primary Care Holds Grand Opening in Thomasville
While Archbold has provided the region with healthcare for a century, Archbold’s primary care practices are much younger. For much of the last 100 years, general practice physicians practiced primarily independently from larger healthcare organizations. When John D. Archbold Memorial Hospital first opened, the majority of doctor’s visits were house calls. By the 1980s, house calls made up just 1%.
Today in Archbold history, on February 7, 2012, Archbold Primary Care opened its new practice in Thomasville. Then, located on Mimosa Drive, the original providers included Dr. Jason Griffin, Dr. Phillip Jansen, and physician assistant Bruce Allen, PA-C. Now located on Pinetree Boulevard, Dr. Griffin and Bruce Allen still diligently serve patients and the team has grown to include Dr. Rachel Anderson, Dr. Jackson Hatfield, Dr. Dale Wing, Dr. Kaylee Day, nurse practitioner B. Michelle Dees, FNP-C, Kaycie Langston, NP-C, and Jessica Smith, FNP-C.
Archbold Primary Care has since expanded to four locations to serve the people of Southwest Georgia. Archbold Primary Care offers primary care services in Thomasville, Cairo, Camilla, and Pelham. Our providers across the region include Jason NeSmith, MD, Stephen Rubendall, MD, nurse practitioner Sarah C. Brooks, FNP-C, Sarah Sumner, NP-C, Magan Gilliam, FNP, Anna C. Gray, FNP-C, and Jenna Roberts Garrett, FNP-C.
