For immediate release:

    GREENVILLE, N.C. - Effective June 2012, health care providers at Inner Banks Urgent Care in Washington will begin seeing patients at other practices throughout the county.

    The urgent care providers will rotate among internal medicine, family medicine and women's care practices.

    Patients currently seen at the urgent care facility will be able to schedule appointments with the following practices:

    Vidant Internal Medicine - Washington
    Vidant Women's Care - Washington
    Vidant Family Medicine - Washington
    Vidant Family Medicine - Chocowinity

    The practices will be expanding their hours, as well as offering same-day and walk-in service to accommodate the new patients.

    "We want this transition to be as easy as possible for the patients," said Travis Douglass, executive vice president and director, Vidant Medical Group. "It is our goal to seamlessly transition our patients to other existing practices in Washington and Beaufort County."

    Also, this year, all Vidant Medical Group practices in Washington will be installing and implementing an electronic health record. The system will combine every aspect of the patient's medical history into a single record, housed in one database. As a result, physicians and other clinical staff will have convenient, timely access to appropriate information through one secure system. The system has the potential to fully connect health providers in eastern North Carolina into one computer-based system of medical records.

    Medical Group. "It is our goal to seamlessly transition our patients to other existing practices in Washington and Beaufort County."

These are questions shared by many, including the Fitch downgrade of the Vidant debt.

One also has to question: Why did not the "UHS Cheerleaders" see this coming? Why did Beaufort County Commissioners Jay McRoy and Al Klemm, and commissioner candidate Jerry Evans not know of this, which occurred so shortly after these characters pleaded for Beaufort County to bequeath the publicly owned hospital to a semi - private entity, when we could have leased it for so much more money?

They (Klemm and McRoy) were insiders in the deal, knowing well both sides of the table. Conversely, I only knew of one side of the table, and that was the side that I represented - Beaufort County's side.

This is so weird. I miss the old names already. I want to go to Washington Women's Care, NOT Vidant Women's Care! Why did our hospital sell out to a group that didn't even have the rights to it's name. And why is there no explanation for this change with urgent care?
