Carilion Clinic brings new services to White’s Travel Center

Contributors

Carilion ClinicCarilion Clinic will open a new VelocityCare urgent care clinic at White’s Travel Center in Raphine in early 2019. In addition, Carilion will begin managing the pharmacy at the travel center.

“Our travel center serves nearly 2 million visitors every year,” said Bobby Berkstresser, owner of White’s Travel Center. “For many of the truck drivers, scheduling medical visits is not an option. This will provide them instant and convenient access to care without disrupting their busy travel schedule.”

Berkstresser broke ground on the new facility at the end of July. Upon completion, Carilion will lease 6300 square feet of the total 8300 square foot facility, offering urgent care access and a new pharmacy space.

“Because Carilion’s mission is to improve the health of our communities, we are always looking for the best ways to serve our patients, and do so in a way that is convenient for them,” said Chuck Carr, Carilion vice president. “This location is unique in that we can better meet the needs of the Raphine community while also serving the many travelers who wouldn’t otherwise have easy access to quality care.”

The facility will be located off Interstate 81 at Exit 205. The site does not yet have an address; however, the building will be at the corner of Steeles Fort Road and Commerce Park Drive. It will serve as a resource for both the surrounding community and those traveling along I-81.
