Austin Regional Clinic expands specialty care to meet demand
Next steps
Specialists, nurse practitioners and physician assistants with ARC travel to multiple clinic locations to meet patients where there is a need, so they are not required to journey into Austin for care, Price said. ARC opened the Greenlawn Specialty clinic in Round Rock on Jan. 19. The clinic offers specialty and surgical care. ARC is further expanding with two clinic openings scheduled for June, Price said. A new clinic in Lockhart will open June 15, and ARC South Specialty in South Austin will open in stages beginning June 1. ARC South Specialty will be located at the South Medical Campus, along with ARC South 1st Pediatrics, ARC South 1st and ARC Surgery Center South.
In smaller communities around the Greater Austin area, demand for health care specialists has risen at a rate unmatched by access to professionals. Patients often face long wait times for appointments, said Ashley Price, Austin Regional Clinic’s vice president of operations. Austin Regional Clinic, or ARC, is expanding its specialty services both north and south of Austin to provide unique care to residents in the surrounding cities. While cities neighboring Austin are growing rapidly, the nation faces a shortage of both primary care physicians and specialists, Price said. ARC is expanding specialty care access in the Austin metro with the opening of multiple new clinics.
