Dosher Medical Plaza marks decade of service; Saturday hours return for Urgent Care

February marked the tenth anniversary of the opening of Dosher Medical Plaza, the first free-standing clinic owned and operated by Dosher Memorial Hospital.

Here's a snapshot of services at The Plaza:

Urgent Care staff examined an average of 400 patients per month last year. Saturday hours-9 a.m. to 1 p.m.-are now in effect.

Diagnostic Imaging staff performed 5,200 X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, mammography, and bone densitometry scans for the year.

Laboratory staff conducted 300-400 lab draws per month.

Our new tenant is Carolina Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Specialists, a Wilmington-based ortho surgery practice.

"The Plaza is brick and mortar proof that a strong move toward outpatient services was the future of success for our organization," Tom Siemers, Dosher president & CEO, says. "Outpatient services, including our 10 clinics, now account for more than 85 percent of Dosher revenue annually."

Dosher Medical Plaza is at 4222 Long Beach Road, between Southport and Oak Island. For information on Urgent Care services, call 910-454-4732. Read more about the Dosher clinics at Dosher.org/Clinics.
