Phoebe Putney Health System has expanded its network of urgent care clinics by opening a new location in Camilla. The facility will provide residents in Camilla and surrounding areas with convenient access to high-quality, prompt medical care. Phoebe and community leaders took part in a ribbon-cutting ceremony Monday afternoon to commemorate this milestone.  

“The opening of Phoebe Urgent Care in Camilla represents our commitment to expanding access to exceptional healthcare services across our communities. This milestone is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, and we look forward to continuing to serve our neighbors with compassion and care," said Scott Steiner, Phoebe Putney Health System President and CEO.

Phoebe Urgent Care is committed to delivering safe, in-person care for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries, catering to patients of all ages—from pediatrics to geriatrics.

The skilled team of physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants at Phoebe Urgent Care treat a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:  

- Asthma and allergies  

- Cuts requiring minor stitching  

- Minor broken bones and simple fractures  

- Respiratory illnesses such as flu, strep throat, COVID-19, and RSV  

"With the opening of our new urgent care center in Camilla, we are reinforcing Phoebe's mission to provide accessible, high-quality healthcare to families and individuals across Southwest Georgia. This new location reflects our commitment to serving communities where the need is greatest," said Estrellita Redmon, MD, President of Phoebe Physicians.

The Camilla location joins Phoebe’s growing network of urgent care clinics across the region including Phoebe Urgent Care of East Albany, Phoebe Urgent Care of Lee County, Phoebe Urgent Care North Campus and Phoebe Urgent Care at Northwest Albany. Phoebe plans to further expand in Lee County with a new urgent care facility on Highway 82 later this year. Renovations are wrapping up at Phoebe East, with renovations and expansions planned at Phoebe North and Phoebe Northwest. Phoebe Urgent Care prioritizes access, quality, and innovation, offering same-day testing, limited labs, and telehealth options. 

Telehealth provides convenient, remote access to medical services, ensuring timely and expert care for certain patients who may be unable to make it to an in-person appointment. Phoebe Urgent Care Telehealth operates from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

"The opening of Phoebe Urgent Care in Camilla brings comprehensive healthcare closer to home for more southwest Georgians. For those who may not have an urgent care location nearby or find it challenging to visit in person, our telehealth services offer a seamless alternative. Patients can schedule appointments and receive expert medical care from the comfort of their homes, ensuring that exceptional healthcare is always accessible, no matter where they reside," said Martavius Marcus, Director of Physician Practices at Phoebe Physician Group.

The new Camilla clinic is located in the same building as Phoebe Primary Care of Camilla at 725 U.S. Highway 19 South. For more information about Phoebe Urgent Care and or Phoebe Telehealth visit www.phoebehealth.com/urgentcare.
