Outpatient Mental Health Clinic Opens in Meridian
Right Track Medical Group was joined by the greater Meridian community as they celebrated the opening of their Meridian clinic at 2514 67th Avenue Loop, Suite 106 on Tuesday, Aug. 4. A ribbon cutting ceremony was hosted by Right Track Medical Group and the East Mississippi Business Development Corporation. All attendees were required to wear a mask (unless speaking into the microphone) and practice social distancing throughout the entirety of the event.
The Meridian area now has access to quality, individualized outpatient mental healthcare as the physician-led Right Track Medical Group opens its doors to patients. Right Track Medical Group is currently accepting new patients. Right Track Medical Group provides individualized care for depression, anxiety, stress and other mental health needs.
Right Track Medical Group offers a physician-led approach to treating anxiety, depression and other mental health disorders on an outpatient basis. Its staff includes physicians, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners and licensed therapists.
“Our goal is to see patients the same day or next day upon referral. While this is our philosophy always, it’s even more critical during the current pandemic, when fear and worry about loved ones, financial concerns, social isolation and uncertainty about the future can make your stress difficult to cope with or cause anxiety and depression.”
The clinic’s model is designed to intervene before a mental illness reaches a crisis level when inpatient treatment can be necessary. When patients call for their first appointment, Right Track Medical Group is committed to seeing them the same day or next day.
“You should not have to wait weeks or even months to get help for your mental health,” said Dr. Stephen Pannel, DO, ABPN, ABAM, psychiatrist and Chief Medical Officer of Right Track Medical Group. “Our goal is to see patients the same day or next day upon referral. While this is our philosophy always, it’s even more critical during the current pandemic, when fear and worry about loved ones, financial concerns, social isolation and uncertainty about the future can make your stress difficult to cope with or cause anxiety and depression.”
