FISHERSVILLE, Va. — Earlier this month, Augusta Medical Group announced plans to consolidate three of its practice locations.
The group will close Weyers Cave Urgent Care, Buena Vista Primary Care, and Churchville Primary Care, transitioning patients to nearby facilities to ensure continued access to care.
Buena Vista Primary Care: Patients have already been notified and reassigned to Augusta Health Maury River Family Practice or Augusta Health Primary Care in Lexington, both less than 10 miles away.
Churchville Primary Care: Patients are being directed to Augusta Health Family Practice in Verona, also less than 10 miles from the original location. While Churchville operated only three days a week, Verona offers care five days a week.
Weyers Cave Urgent Care: Patients may visit any Augusta Health Urgent Care in Stuarts Draft, Staunton, Waynesboro, or Crozet, with Staunton being the closest. Augusta Health will also send its Mobile Clinic to Weyers Cave to ensure residents continue to have access to care in the area.
“These decisions are never easy, but demonstrate Augusta Health’s commitment to deploying innovative access strategies for addressing demand at the neighborhood level. They are necessary to ensure the future of Augusta Health and to provide the consistent, cost-effective care our communities deserve,” said Kris Doan, MBA, FACHE, President of Augusta Medical Group. “We remain focused on meeting the evolving needs of the Shenandoah Valley while keeping our patients at the center of everything we do.”
The consolidation is part of Augusta Health’s ongoing response to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and the resulting realities for healthcare delivery.
Augusta Health continues to evaluate services and locations to ensure long-term sustainability while providing the best care for patients, providers, team members, and the community.
