Ozarks Healthcare began seeing patients at its new Willow Springs clinic on Monday.
As a reminder to residents and visitors celebrating Hannah Harper Day, the clinic is offering extended hours today. The facility will remain open until 9 p.m. and is welcoming walk-in patients all day.
“This is more than just opening a clinic — it’s about strengthening our commitment to the Willow Springs community and ensuring individuals and families have access to high-quality care close to home,” said Terence Farrell, Ozarks Healthcare president and CEO. “We recognize that community events like this bring people together, and we want to be there to support not only the celebration, but also the health and well-being of everyone involved. Our goal is to remove barriers to care and provide trusted, compassionate services when and where they are needed most.”
Providers include Dr. Lori MacPherson, who currently sees patients in West Plains and has a longstanding relationship with the Mtn. Grove and Willow Springs communities. The care team also includes family nurse practitioners Carla Clinton and Theresa Ward.
The clinic is located at 816 E. Main St., near downtown Willow Springs.
With large crowds expected for today's festivities, Ozarks Healthcare encourages community members and visitors to stay hydrated; wear comfortable, appropriate footwear; and be mindful of personal health conditions and medications.
In the event of a medical emergency, individuals should dial 911 immediately or seek emergency medical attention.
An official grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Willow Springs clinic will be announced at a later date. For more information or to contact the clinic, call 417-413-5415 or visit www.ozarkshealthcare.com.
