Located in McMinnville, Tennessee, Family Care Clinic and Family Care Wellness are sister healthcare facilities committed to delivering accessible, high-quality care. They offer a wide range of options for those seeking primary care, pediatric care, and walk-in care. They have a team of providers who can diagnose and treat an array of conditions and illnesses.

Their mission is to provide individualized, high-quality care as needed or as a preventative measure. In creating this practice, they chose the philosophy and values that are important to them. Understanding that traditional office hours don’t work for everyone and that timely appointments can be hard to secure, they are committed to improving access to care by operating six days a week and offering extended hours. Patients are welcome to walk in, or schedule appointments at their convenience.

Family Care Clinic and Family Care Wellness have been an active RHC Network Member since the inception of the program.
