Greenbrier County Native, MedExpress CEO Opens Newest Center in Lewisburg

MedExpress Urgent Care, West Virginia's patient-centered urgent care provider, opened its newest center today in Lewisburg. With the opening of the new center, MedExpress now operates 10 centers throughout West Virginia and more than 50 centers nationwide.

The new center is very close to White Sulphur Springs, WV, the hometown of MedExpress' founder Dr. Frank Alderman. After attending Greenbrier East High School, Dr. Alderman went on to earn a bachelor's degree in pharmacy and a medical degree at West Virginia University. He co-founded MedExpress in 2001 with the opening of its first location in Morgantown, WV.

"MedExpress' core value of exceeding the patient's expectations in a welcoming environment can be traced back to our roots. My roots take me back here to Greenbrier County," said Dr. Alderman. "We reinforce these values by delivering timely, affordable, high-quality health care at all of our centers with an emphasis on the patient's experience. I am excited to bring MedExpress to the Lewisburg community and to Greenbrier County, an area that has done so much for me."

To commemorate the occasion, MedExpress will make a $10,000 contribution to the Greenbrier County Schools' Wellness Committee. All 13 schools in the county employ a coach who coordinates staff and student wellness activities. This donation will help these coaches educate their students and fellow staff on how to live healthier lifestyles.

The Lewisburg MedExpress, at 1318 Jefferson Street North, Suite A, will be open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week. MedExpress Urgent Care employs more than 500 people in West Virginia and last year treated more than 253,000 people in the state. MedExpress Urgent Care is a full-service, walk-in health care center, offering treatment for everyday illness and injury to all ages. There is always a physician on duty, supported by a full medical team. In addition to the new location, MedExpress operates centers in Beckley, Bridgeport, Charleston, Huntington, Morgantown, Princeton, Parkersburg, South Charleston and Wheeling.
