Business is picking up on the Southside of Augusta, after a local medical nonprofit expands by opening a new location in south Augusta.
Christ Community Health, which provides medical and dental services for uninsured and underinsured residents of the CSRA, opened its third clinic at 2604 Peach Orchard Road, Suite 200 next to Barney’s Pharmacy (see photo above) on Monday, Nov. 29. “This location has easy access for thousands of our existing patients,” says Don Branum, Christ Community’s chief executive officer. “Plus, it gives us the capacity to serve new patients at all our clinics in Augusta.” The new clinic provides primary care and behavioral health services. The other clinics are located at 127 Telfair St. and 1226 D’Antignac St. “This is just further evidence of growth potential in this area,” says Brandon Garrett, Augusta commissioner for District 8. “Aldi also will be breaking ground soon on Peach Orchard Road.”
