Donors for the Hickory Hill Health Center include the Kemmons Wilson Family Foundation and Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare.

The Hickory Hill Health Center will offer family and internal medicine and pediatric and prenatal care and will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The center is scheduled to open to patients on Thursday, April 2.

This new health center will provide Hickory Hill residents with quality, affordable care that’s convenient to their homes.”
