HCMC Medical Clinics Continuing Care to Patients with Normal Business Hours But Limiting Support Persons

March 19, 2020

PARIS, TN – Henry County Medical Center owns and operates seven provider clinics.  These are as follows:

  • Paris Women’s Center
  • Paris Pulmonary Clinic
  • Transitions Health
  • Eagle Creek Clinic
  • Innovative Orthopedics

These clinics continue to operate under normal business operations, but have implemented a few rules.  HCMC Medical Clinics plan to continue this course to provide the needed care for our patients in the communities we serve.

Effective Friday, March 20, 2020:

  • If you have a fever or cough, PLEASE DO NOT ENTER. Call the clinic and you will be given instructions on how to proceed.
  • Only ONE support person per patient will be allowed in the clinic and waiting areas.
  • To protect all patients, NO CHILDREN WILL BE ALLOWED under the age of 18 in the clinic and waiting area unless they are the patient.

HCMC Administration continues to follow the CDC guidelines as well as the TN Department of Health guidelines to ensure the safety of our patients who are seen in our clinics.  Currently all our providers are healthy and seeing patients.
