Oaklawn Medical Group expands express care services with new Beckley Road location
BATTLE CREEK — Oaklawn Medical Group is expanding its footprint in the Cereal City with a new express care location on Beckley Road.
The express care location at 5352 Beckley Road will begin accepting walk-in patients Thursday. The facility will be open for walk-in appointments from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, including weekends.
“This new project is another step toward our goal of providing the best possible health services to the communities we serve,” Oaklawn President/CEO Gregg Beeg said in a release. “As always, Oaklawn’s goal is to provide convenient, accessible, thorough medical care when and where people throughout Calhoun County need it most.
“Urgent care often is listed as a high priority when a community health needs assessment is conducted in our region,” Beeg continued. "Fortunately, Oaklawn has been able to respond by establishing express-care services in Marshall and Albion. However, it has been clear that our responsibility also has been to add a location much closer to our region’s center of highest population.”
Bronson Healthcare formerly operated an urgent care and imaging center at the Beckley Road site but opted to relocate those services when its lease expired in September 2022. Oaklawn took over the building’s lease later that year.
“In time, Oaklawn’s patient services at the site will include express care, family medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology, and orthopedics,” Beeg said. “We will continue to look at expansion opportunities as well as collaborative partnerships and relationships for patient-care services throughout the region.”
Oaklawn medical providers at the site will include family nurse practitioners Cherie Craft, Shannon Hepler, Robin Kuiper, Jeffrey C. Lee and Rebecca Weyer, as well as physician assistants Mark Boyd, John Green, Austin Lutz and Nicholas Nowak.
