TrustCare opens 3 clinics in Madison
MADISON — A new TrustCare Health facility here is the first of its kind to offer three individual clinics in one building.
TrustCare Urgent Care, TrustCare Primary Care, and TrustCare Kids Pediatric Care are the three clinics.
The facility opened earlier this summer in the old Rite Aid building in the southwest corner of U.S. 51 and Hoy Road, and TrustCare officials will celebrate with a ribbon cutting later this month.
According to TrustCare President and CEO Warren Herring, the vision for TrustCare clinics began in 2012 with the recognition that most Mississippians could not receive prompt medical care seven days a week.
“TrustCare understands that at any moment outside the hours of a typical business day, an illness or injury to a family member can occur,” Herring said.
He said this forced families to waste time and money in the emergency room for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries.
“If the condition is non-life-threatening, all any of us want is to be healed quickly and avoid a trip to the emergency room,” Herring said.
The recent addition of primary care and pediatric care clinics to the TrustCare Health brand has elevated their offerings to a more “holistic level of care” catering to all patients of all ages and needs.
“This new three-in-one facility will go a long way towards helping patients of all ages from Madison and the surrounding communities get the quality healthcare they need and begin feeling better faster,” Herring said.
The Madison TrustCare Kids is the third to open since TrustCare Kids in Gluckstadt in 2021 and TrustCare Kids Crossgates in Brandon in 2023.
TrustCare pediatrician Dr. Megan Washington has relocated from the Gluckstadt clinic to Madison to offer patients from newborn to college-age treatment for ear infections, allergic reactions, and acute and chronic injuries, as well as sports physicals, vision screenings, and well-child check-ups.
The interior design includes “fun and engaging” themes and features like animal-themed rooms, interactive games, and Kirby the TrustCare Bear.
The clinic offers pediatric urgent care from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends. They also offer primary care from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. Herring said this is so working parents can access care for their children.
The new TrustCare Urgent Care clinic here is the ninth in the central Mississippi region. It features “experienced, highly trained providers” offering services ranging from treatment of injuries, illnesses, infections, and allergic reactions to digital x-rays, wellness exams, and business services such as employee physicals and drug testing.
The clinic is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends.
TrustCare Primary Care offers “tailored preventative health and well-being strategies aimed at helping every patient achieve a brighter, healthier future.”
Herring said Dr. Kristi Trimm, one of the area’s best primary care physicians and TrustCare’s Medical Director, has relocated her practice from the Township in Ridgeland to the new Madison location. Her services include wellness and general care, treatment of acute and chronic illnesses, and disease prevention.
