From the City of Louisville:

January 15, 2020

Mayor Greg Fischer today helped cut the ribbon on a second Wellness Center for Louisville Metro Government employees and their dependents. The center, located at 6127 Airport Hotels Blvd. off Fern Valley Road, is managed by Concentra and provides annual physicals, urgent care and primary care needs to employees with Louisville Metro Government insurance. Additionally, the new center offers access to a dietician, x-ray and physical therapy services.

The center is designed to help the city, and taxpayers, save money on health care costs.

“Our core city values of health, lifelong learning and compassion come together at our Metro Employee Wellness Centers,” said Mayor Fischer. “Helping our employees take care of themselves and their families helps us run a more efficient operation and maximizes the investment of our taxpayers.”

More than 160 Metro employees and dependents have received care from medical professionals since the new center opened in mid-December 2019.

The first Employee Wellness Center, managed by Concentra, opened downtown at the corner of First and Liberty streets in October 2013.
