The facility, located at 9777 Rome Boulevard, is slated to open on February 16, bringing comprehensive medical services closer to home for families in Chattooga County.
The new clinic will offer a range of services, including primary care for all ages, urgent care for immediate medical needs, occupational health services, and support for workers’ compensation and school health programs. AdventHealth emphasizes a “whole-person” approach to care, focusing on the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of each patient.

Expanding Access in Northwest Georgia
AdventHealth’s expansion into Summerville reflects a broader commitment to improving healthcare access throughout Northwest Georgia. According to an official press release, the health system aims to provide high-quality, compassionate care that helps individuals and families live healthier lives. AdventHealth has been actively working to expand its footprint in the region, recognizing the demand for accessible medical services in rural communities.
Meet the Providers
The Summerville clinic will be staffed by experienced nurse practitioners Christie Tankersley, ACNP-BC, and Anna Nicole Herring, FNP-C. Tankersley and Herring will be responsible for providing a wide range of primary and urgent care services, from diagnosing and treating common illnesses to managing chronic conditions and providing preventative care.
