Rutherford Physician Practices, an affiliate of Rutherford Regional Health System, proudly hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 23, to celebrate the opening of Rutherford Premier Primary Care.

The event drew a large crowd of community members, local leaders, and partners who came out to show their support. Guests toured the clinic, met the providers, and enjoyed light refreshments. Providers Dr. Natalie Bublitz and Dr. Cameron Ludwig, both Family Medicine with Obstetrics (FMOB) physicians, expressed their excitement about meeting the community they now call home.

"We are thrilled with the turnout and the warm welcome from the community," said Rutherford Regional Health Systems CEO, Sudandra Ratnasamy. "Dr. Bublitz and Dr. Ludwig bring a deep commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care, and we are proud to have them leading this practice for families in Rutherford County."

Rutherford Premier Primary Care offers comprehensive health services for patients of all ages, including annual wellness visits, check-ups, immunizations, management of chronic conditions, and full-spectrum women's health care such as prenatal, labor and delivery coordination, postpartum support, breastfeeding guidance, and family planning.

The new clinic is located at 128 Doctor Henry Norris Drive in Rutherfordton. Appointments are available now and can be scheduled by calling 828-287-4434 or visiting RutherfordPhysicianPractices.com.
