The Medical Plaza located at the intersection of Lewisville-Clemmons and Peace Haven Roads opened its doors in April.  Mike Esposito, Director of the center, said the hospital offers a variety services for both children and adults.

 “The areas that are open now are internal medicine for adults, and a hematology and oncology clinic. We have an entire pediatric floor in the first plaza that opened. We have specialists from Brenner’s Children’s Hospital rotating throughout the center and on that same floor we have a pediatric dentistry practice as well,” said Esposito.

The three-story medical building also houses a Women’s center offering breast, and OB/GYN care for women.

Esposito said urgent care services will also be available seven days a week-- beginning August 31.  A spine center is also in the works for this fall.

Esposito says the Clemmons site recently received state approval to build an outpatient surgery center.  More than 100 people will be employed at the Clemmons site when all the stages are completed.

A community day celebration will be held this weekend to give the public a first-hand look at the new facility.

“We will have tours of both buildings and physicians and staff members will be on site to answer questions about our practices and their specialties. We will have door prizes and games for the kids and door prizes to the Winston-Salem Open, the Dash things like that. There will be lots of fun things to do,” said Esposito.

The community day event at the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Plaza in Clemmons will run from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 11.

Meanwhile, another major hospital is also expanding services in western Forsyth County. Novant Health has received approval from the state to build a $96 million, 50-bed hospital in Clemmons.  That project is expected to be completed by early 2013.
