Thanks to a new partnership between Gordon Jewish Community Center and Baptist Sports Medicine—one that Belmont’s own Dr. Kevin Robinson from the School of Physical Therapy was a part of—residents of Bell Meade and Bellevue can now receive medical attention much closer to home.
The recent venture made it possible for those seeking medical attention to visit a Baptist therapist at the Community Center for services including orthopedic physical therapy, aquatic therapy, sports medicine and back, neck and spine pain therapy. Bubba McIntosh, interim executive director for Baptist Sports Medicine, said he hopes the program will grow to include more services and expanded hours.
And grow, it has. McIntosh explained that even before the program’s official grand opening, patients began scheduling appointments. Since then, the clinic has begun to see anywhere from six to twelve patients per day, and that number only seems to be growing. The partnership will no doubt serve as a great convenience to the people of Nashville.
