The facility, situated in Madison, aims to provide personalized treatment options for a range of conditions affecting the brain, spine, and nervous system, bringing expert care closer to home for many North Alabama patients.
“We are experiencing incredible growth in Madison County, and we’re seeing so many patients who come to our Spine & Neuro practice in Huntsville but live in Madison,” says Josh Hewiett, Senior Vice President of Physician Services at Huntsville Hospital Health System. The timing finally aligned to open a clinic in Madison to serve the booming population. The facility will be located in Madison Medical 1, adjacent to Madison Hospital.
The clinic will have a robust staff of neurosurgeons, physiatrists (who manage conditions affecting skeletal and nervous systems), physicians assistants, and nurse practitioners. Operating Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., the clinic will also offer expedient same-day appointments with a physician assistant for spine care evaluations. “We’re excited that we’re able to meet the needs of Madison’s growth and the needs of our individual patients in the area,” Hewiett says. “Our community is growing, so we’re growing with it. We’re recruiting physicians and team members so we can serve more patients in a more timely manner and give them more convenient access to care.”
