Jonesboro, Ark., June 29th, 2020 – NEA Baptist announces plans to begin work on a new location for Pediatrics and Dermatology. Both service lines will soon be offered at the first building project at The Reserve at NEA. The development is an extension of the largest master-planned integrated health care campus in our trade area. A partnership between NEA Baptist and Haag Brown Commercial Real Estate, The Reserve at NEA will become a lifestyle focused medical development that is a virtual extension of the NEA Baptist Medical Campus.
Plans for the new clinic space include nearly 12,000 sq. ft. The new site will house pediatricians Dr. MaryJoanne Umeora, Dr. Camille Chan, Tomorrow Potter, APRN, and Priscilla Fortner, APRN. NEA Baptist recently signed Dr. Enid Burnett to lead the NEA Baptist Dermatology Clinic. Access to the new location will be available through hospital drive, directly connecting to NEA Baptist Medical Campus, and is the first building in a multi-phase project which will continue to change the landscape at hilltop.
“We are proud to partner with Haag Brown as NEA Baptist’s next phase of growth builds on offering important medical care with convenient access for patients and their families. The Reserve at NEA will complement our goal of delivering healing in an environment that is a significant improvement from the stigma of institutional facilities of old”, said Sam Lynd, CEO of NEA Baptist. Josh Brown, Haag Brown Principal had this to say about the lifestyle medical park, “Our office is located in this type of “lifestyle” office atmosphere. Our employees enjoy coming to work and we love being here. Our goal for the Reserve at NEA is the same— for employees and patients to enjoy their experience on the property”.
A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for July 13 at 10:00 a.m. on the greenspace in the southeast corner of the NEA Baptist Medical Campus.
