“East Ridge is a close-knit community and we want to thank those patients who trust us with their care, as well as let others know we are here when they need us,” said Ellis Harris, East Division Vice President for Physicians Care. “We have a caring and qualified team who is here every day of the week to treat an unexpected illness or injury. We’re also here for wellness care.”
