UAB Medicine St. Vincent’s opens a new primary care practice in Trussville. UAB Medicine St. Vincent’s Primary Care Trussville is located at 7201 Happy Hollow Road in the existing UAB St. Vincent’s Trussville building.
“We have heard from our patients, physicians, associates and community members that increased access to primary care is a top priority in their health care journey. We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our primary care network in Trussville,” said Summer Tappan, chief operating officer, UAB Medicine St. Vincent’s Medical Group. “We know access to primary care is a critical component in preventive medicine, and we are committed to continuing to increase access to care for patients wherever they need us.”
Suzanne Cantley, DSN, will be the treating provider for the practice. A graduate of UAB with a doctorate in nursing, Cantley brings 20 years of experience as a family medicine practitioner. She has a special interest in treating patients with types 1 and 2 diabetes, metabolic disorders, asthma, and acute illnesses. She helps patients learn how to prevent diabetes, and for patients already diagnosed with diabetes, she incorporates the latest technology to assist patients in managing their disease.
“I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a child, and helping patients manage and better take care of themselves is my passion,” Cantley said. “I feel as though I was born to be a caregiver, and I’m thrilled to be back in the Trussville community serving patients.”
UAB Medicine St. Vincent’s Primary Care Trussville is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. New patient appointments are available now. To schedule an appointment, please call (205) 508-6270.
