We’re growing in Athens, and it’s all about creating more space to better serve your orthopaedic needs.
The Orthopaedic Center (TOC) is excited to announce the expansion of our Athens location, with Physical and Occupational Therapy now moving to its own dedicated space on the third floor of the Athens Limestone Tower. This expansion allows us to enhance the patient experience while continuing to meet the growing needs of our community.
A Dedicated Floor for Therapy
By relocating Therapy to the third floor, we can create a more focused, spacious environment designed specifically for rehabilitation and recovery. Patients will benefit from:
- Increased treatment space
- Improved patient flow
- A more comfortable and private therapy experience
- Room for additional equipment and expanded services
This dedicated floor allows our therapy team to continue delivering personalized, hands-on care in a setting built entirely around patient progress and performance. According to Jeff Keith, TOC Director of Therapy Services & Workers’ Compensation, this growth has been a direct response to North Alabama’s development around them.
“Our growth has really followed the growth of the community around us,” Jeff explains. “As more families and businesses move into the area, the need for high-quality therapy services continues to increase. This new floor gives our team the space to care for more patients while still providing the kind of personalized, one-on-one, hands-on treatment that has always defined our clinics.”
Expanding Clinical Space on the Second Floor
Growth doesn’t stop there.
With Therapy moving upstairs, the second-floor clinical space has just begun renovations to add more clinical space. This expansion allows TOC to:
- Increase exam room availability
- Expanded X-Ray Capacity
- Enhance overall patient access
- Support continued growth in provider services
As Athens continues to grow, demand for high-quality orthopaedic care also increases. This expansion ensures that we are positioned to serve patients efficiently while maintaining the level of excellence and attention they expect from TOC. According to Jeremy Gaertner, TOC Chief Operations Officer, this expansion is already underway and built with the patient experience in mind.
“Renovations kicked off this month, and we’re excited about what’s ahead. We’re adding clinic space and additionalX-ray capacity, which will make a real difference for our patients and providers. The project is projected to wrap up in the fall of 2026, and in the meantime, our Athens office will remain fully operational throughout the entire process,” Jeremy explains.
Investing in Athens
This expansion reflects our ongoing commitment to the Athens community. By expanding both therapy and clinical services within the same building, we’re strengthening our ability to provide comprehensive orthopaedic care all inone convenient location in Limestone County.
We’re proud to continue growing alongside Athens and look forward to serving even more patients in our expanded space.
