High Point, NC – CHC Realty, LLC, held a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday for its new 105,000 square foot outpatient medical facility located on 15 acres of land on Westchester Drive. According to John Walker, MD, a physician with High Point Gastroenterology who serves on the board of the real estate company, “The development of this state-of-the-art medical office building represents an important step in the growth of Cornerstone Health Care. It demonstrates the commitment that we have to provide our patients with cutting edge medical technology in a patient-centered atmosphere. We have always believed that Cornerstone’s mission can be defined as ‘Our family caring for yours’. Now, we are moving towards the goal of making Cornerstone our patients’ “medical home.”

Several Cornerstone practices are planning to relocate to the new medical building which is scheduled to open in 2008.

Grace E. Terrell, MD President and CEO of Cornerstone Health Care said “We continue to evaluate needs for medical services in this location and may add more based upon our research. It is our desire to create a patient-friendly facility that enhances the efficiency and convenience of the care provided.”

As one of the first physician groups in the state to implement a company-wide electronic medical record system, Cornerstone Health Care will incorporate the most advanced communications technology into the construction of the new building. The facility will be completely wireless, allowing the seamless transfer of information between Cornerstone physicians and staff within the building, and across the Triad. Instant electronic communication with providers at High Point Regional Health System will also serve to enhance patient care. City Councilman John Faircloth, EDC President Loren Hill and Chamber of Commerce President Tom Dayvault attended the ceremony, along with representatives from the Board of Directors of Cornerstone Health Care and CHC Realty, LLC.
