As Murfreesboro Medical Clinic & SurgiCenter (MMC) representatives observe the operation's 75th year of providing community health services, they're also celebrating continued expansion in providing comprehensive patient care.
MMC professionals recently broke ground for the group's newest medical facility, conveniently located in Murfreesboro on Lascassas Pike between Dejarnette Lane and Compton Road. At press time, slab work was underway and steel structures were expected to emerge at the site during July, with the goal for completion by summer 2026.
Jason Pollock, M.D., OBGYN and MMC board president says, “I grew up in this area, just down the road. Dr. Garrison, MMC’s first pediatrician, was my pediatrician. I’m honored to be a part of an organization that cares for the health of my community, and proud that we'll now be able to provide services closer to home for our patients who live in this area. I know Dr. Garrison also would be proud.”
The future two-story, state-of-the-art medical center is designed to meet the growing health care needs of northeast Murfreesboro's rapidly increasing population. The facility is planned to offer a broad range of outpatient services, including pediatrics, internal and family medicine, laboratory and radiology, as well as an MMC Now Family Walk-In Clinic.
MMC Lascassas marks the ninth location for Murfreesboro Medical Clinic.
In a collaborative effort to provide comprehensive care, Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford representatives announced their purchase of land to establish a full-service, freestanding emergency department adjacent to the new clinic.
"Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford's leadership approached us with the idea of strategically placing an emergency department alongside our new medical clinic, ensuring seamless, high-quality care for the community," says Joey Peay, CEO of MMC.
Peay says this development aligns with ongoing discussions between city officials and Tennessee Department of Transportation staffers regarding plans to widen Lascassas Pike from two lanes to five lanes, stretching from Clark Boulevard to Compton Lane. The infrastructure upgrade would support increased traffic flow and improve access to the new health care facility, he adds.
