Maria Parham Health Opens Multispecialty Clinic in Louisburg
– Press Release, Maria Parham Health
Maria Parham Health has opened a new multispecialty physicians clinic in Louisburg to provide more access to medical care for the residents of Franklin County and the surrounding communities. Maria Parham Multispecialty Clinic provides a rotation of specialty care that currently includes primary care, general surgery, physiatry, nephrology and orthopaedics. For added convenience, the clinic will offer primary care seven days a week.
“Our new clinic will allow us to better meet the growing demand in Franklin County by bringing more specialty care to the community,” said Bert Beard, Chief Executive Officer at Maria Parham Health. “It is important to be able to offer patients and local businesses access to quality medical care in their own community and we are excited to expand access to specialty care in Louisburg.”
Maria Parham Multispecialty Clinic is conveniently located in the medical office building adjacent to Maria Parham Franklin so new and existing patients can see physicians in five medical specialties with the added convenience of having additional clinical services located right next door. “Our goal is to not only expand access to health care in Franklin County but to also make it a convenient process for our patients,” stated Beard. “Patients can see a primary care provider or specialist at our multispecialty clinic and step right next door to Maria Parham Franklin for lab work or imaging needs. We want to make it easy for people to get the health care they need.”
Maria Parham Multispecialty Clinic is now open at 1501 N Bickett Blvd, Suite E. in Louisburg, North Carolina. Appointments can be made by calling (919) 497-8380.

Trihalomethane Violation Notices Sent With Recent Henderson Water Bills
– Public Notice, City of Henderson
Recently, the Kerr Lake Regional Water System sent out notices that told about a total trihalomethane violation. Two notices were sent out in December for the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2018 and one in January 2019 for the 4th quarter of 2018. Total trihalomethanes are a disinfection byproduct that is created by adding the disinfectant chlorine to water in order to make it potable for drinking. The organics in water that occur naturally react with the chlorine and create total trihalomethanes.
Henderson tests a total of 4 sites every quarter per state regulations. One of the sites that are tested had readings over the MCL (maximum contaminant level) determined by EPA standards. The maximum contaminant level for trihalomethanes is 80 parts per billion. Anything over this amount is considered a maximum contaminant violation and public notification is required at that site.
Due to the LRAA (local running annual average) being above the MCL, a system-wide notice was required to be sent out to all customers of the City of Henderson. These were the notices that were received in the water bills of December 2018 and January 2019.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact Christy Lipscomb, KLRWP Director, at (252) 438-2141 or clipscomb@ci.henderson.nc.us.
