“The Fischer Crossings Medical Center will enable us to provide the right care, at the right time, in the right place,” said Nkem Chukwumerije, MD, president and executive medical director of The Southeast Permanente Medical Group. “Enhanced access to our unique and proven care model will foster a healthier, more vibrant community, ensuring that our patients receive the best possible outcomes.”
Fischer Crossings Medical Center is a collaboration between Kaiser Permanente Georgia, Coweta County officials, Coweta County Board of Commissioners and local stakeholders, reflecting a shared vision to expand health care access and create new economic opportunities.
“We are pleased that Kaiser Permanente is expanding its medical services in our community to better serve our citizens,” said Coweta County board of commissioners chairman Bill McKenzie. “This new 36,000-square-foot facility that will be located in Fischer Crossings further reiterates Coweta County as a growing health care hub in the south metro Atlanta area.”
The medical center will be located on Fischer Crossings Drive in the Fischer Crossings development, currently occupied by several businesses including Costco, NCG Cinema and AutoZone.
The expansion comes as Kaiser Permanente celebrates its 40th anniversary of serving the Atlanta area. Coinciding with the Fischer Crossings Medical Center construction is the renovation of the Kaiser Permanente Cumberland Medical Center in Cobb County.
