Mental health concerns like anxiety and depression are common, real and treatable. Unfortunately, many of those suffering — including nearly one in five adults in the U.S. — will never receive the treatment or support they deserve.
Right Track Medical Group is committed to removing the barriers to care that keep so many from seeking help, and they’re now seeing patients in their newest clinic in Flowood.
“Right Track Medical Group is committed to enhancing timely access to affordable psychiatric and mental healthcare services in communities throughout the state of Mississippi,” said Trace Swartzfager, CEO of Right Track Medical Group. “Our newest clinic on Keyway Drive in Flowood, Miss., is reflective of our mission of providing hope and enhancing the emotional well-being of children, adolescents and adults in Rankin County and the surrounding areas.”
The Flowood location officially opened its doors to patients in October. Right Track Medical Group will celebrate their new clinic with a ribbon cutting and open house on Wednesday, Dec. 1 at 11:30 a.m. Visitors will be able to tour the clinic and meet with staff, as well as learn about Right Track’s approach to care and why access to mental healthcare matters in their community.
Part of Right Track's mission is to eliminate fragmented care and intervene before a mental illness reaches a crisis level when inpatient treatment is typically necessary. Patients are treated by a care team that is led by a psychiatrist in collaboration with a therapist and nurse practitioner, which reduces the chance for misdiagnosis or mistreatment and speeds up treatment progress.
Right Track treats patients of all ages, from children to adults. Services include psychiatric evaluation and medication management, as well as individual and family therapy. Telehealth services are also available to increase access to care.
“We are honored to be in Flowood and want to offer improved access to patient care and outcomes for people in the Flowood and Rankin County areas,” said Dr. Stephen Pannel, DO, ABPN, ABAM, psychiatrist and Chief Medical Officer of Right Track Medical Group. “We also strive to provide patients care within 1 to 2 business days of their initial phone call.”
Launched in 2018, Right Track Medical Group is a network of physician-led outpatient mental health clinics with 11 locations throughout Mississippi and one clinic in Alabama.
Right Track Medical Group is now accepting appointments for psychiatric services and individual and family therapy at its Flowood clinic located at 544 Keyway Drive, Suite A, Flowood, Miss. 39232.
