“We are thrilled to be able to offer our community members an opportunity like this,” Tony Berardi, President of Springfield Masonic Community, said.

Berardi said the clinic will provide services on-campus for residents and staff for urgent care-style and primary care needs, as well as diagnostic services.

“It brings care and services right here to the campus, so my residents don’t have to travel off campus to be seen by a provider and my staff have the ability to come and get seen by a provider at work,” Berardi said.

This marks the first partnership between Premier and a retirement community to provide staffing for on-campus medical care.
