The Mercer University School of Medicine will host a ribbon cutting and open house on Tuesday, August 12, for its new medical office building located at 250 Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard in the former Georgia Music Hall of Fame building in downtown Macon. The invitation-only event includes a formal ribbon cutting ceremony at 5 p.m., followed by an open house until 7 p.m.

“Our desire is to create a centralized, easily accessible location where our patients can continue to receive the highest quality healthcare available in Central Georgia,” said William F. Bina III, MD, MPH, dean of the Mercer University School of Medicine.

The 43,000-square-foot building served as the location of the Georgia Music Hall of Fame from 1996 until its closing in 2011. Purchased by Mercer University from the state of Georgia in 2012, the building’s interior has undergone extensive renovation and is now home to Mercer Medicine—the multi-specialty physician practice and subsidiary of the School of Medicine and the Mercer Health Sciences Center. Approximately 25 board-certified physicians practice in the facility and provide advanced primary and specialized outpatient health care, including cardiology, endocrinology, nephrology, psychiatry, pulmonology, rheumatology and sleep medicine. The newly renovated medical office building also features an on-site laboratory, rheumatology infusion center, pulmonary function testing lab, and a nuclear cardiac stress testing lab.
