U.S. Dermatology Partners expands access to dermatology care to patients in Okmulgee County with the opening of its newest office location.
OKMULGEE, Okla., June 5, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- U.S. Dermatology Partners is pleased to announce the opening of its newest office location in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. The new Okmulgee office is the latest addition to the organization's Outreach Program which is committed to serving rural and underserved communities. To improve access to professional dermatologic care in rural areas, U.S. Dermatology Partners has launched more than 30 new locations across eight states over the past few years. These new offices, including the Okmulgee location, will offer patients easier and more convenient access to much-needed care. Beginning June 3rd, the office will extend convenient access to dermatology and skin cancer treatments for patients in Okmulgee County.
The Okmulgee location will be led by Certified Nurse Practitioner Jenna King under supervising Board-Certified Dermatologist Dr. Sara Metcalf. Ms. King has practiced as a dermatology provider since 2016. The Okmulgee office will offer comprehensive care for a wide range of dermatologic conditions for patients of all ages, including acne, psoriasis, eczema, and skin cancer.
"Amid the ongoing rural healthcare shortage, we understand the hurdles patients in these regions face in obtaining specialized healthcare, including limited provider availability and lengthy appointment wait times," said Paul Singh, Chief Executive Officer of U.S. Dermatology Partners. "Through this new office, we are pleased to expand access to first-rate dermatological care for Okmulgee County residents."
Conveniently located within a short drive of Tulsa, Okmulgee is the county seat of Okmulgee County and offers residents and visitors a blend of history, culture, and outdoor attractions. The city has been the capital of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation since 1868 when it was founded following the Civil War. Visitors can learn more about the Creek people at the Creek Council House Museum which features exhibits on Creek history, art, and traditions, providing insight into the area's Native American heritage. Nature enthusiasts can explore the Deep Fork National Wildlife Refuge, located just outside of Okmulgee. The refuge is home to diverse wildlife and offers opportunities for birdwatching, hiking, and wildlife photography. Residents of Okmulgee enjoy a wide variety of shopping and dining options in their historic downtown district which features unique shops, restaurants, and architectural gems. Okmulgee also hosts a variety of events and festivals throughout the year, including the Pecan Festival, the Okmulgee Invitational Rodeo, and the Azalea Festival.
