McClatchy Medical Center joins Methodist

McClatchy Medical Center has joined the Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare family. The arrangement became official on August 31, 2011.

Located at 7235 Hacks Cross Road in Olive Branch, Miss., the practice includes Dr. William McClatchy and Deborah Martin, Family Nurse Practitioner and 15 employees.

The clinic name will not change, and patients and referring physicians can expect a seamless transition.

“We are very pleased to be partnering with the Dr. McClatchy,” said Gary Shorb, president and CEO, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare. “He has served the community in its current location for many years and is very respected by both patients and other physicians.”

“The addition of this practice strengthens our organization and is part of our ongoing strategy to more closely align with physician partners to provide outstanding care to the community,” said Bill Breen, senior vice president, Physician Alignment, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare.

Additional physician practices now part of Methodist include: Foundation Medical Group, Lakeland Family Medicine, McGee General Surgery Clinic, Penn Marc Internal Medicine, Sutherland Cardiology Clinic, The CardioVascular Center, Kraus Internal Medicine, Midtown Internal Medicine and Jordan Internal Medicine.
