PONTOTOC, Miss.—With the expansion of Pontotoc Medical Clinic, North Mississippi Medical Clinics is building for future health care needs of this community.

          “We’re expanding and renovating more than 4,000 square feet,” said Stephen Montgomery, M.D., a board-certified family physician with the clinic. “The improvements and amenities will help our physicians and staff fulfill our mission of continuously improving the health of the people of our area.”

          The expansion/renovation project includes the addition of a new wing that will house one procedure room, six patient exam rooms, a new and enlarged lab, patient waiting area, employee lounge and physician offices.

Estimated completion for the construction and renovation project is January 2004.

In addition to Dr. Montgomery, the clinic is staffed by Lee Greer, M.D., Michael Hogue, M.D., Kevin Koehler, M.D., and Paul Whiteside, M.D.
