LAS VEGAS Roadside Medical Clinic + Lab, which operates a network of retail health clinics for over-the-road professional truck drivers, announced on Thursday that emergency room physician Royce Brough has received licenses for 11 sites throughout six states.
Brough, a practicing emergency room physician with more than 35 years of experience, will be opening a location in Oklahoma City, Okla., within the next 90 days followed by Dallas in the first quarter 2010. The remaining sites, to be located in California, New Mexico, New Jersey and Indiana, will be open “as quickly as possible.”
“Keeping with our mission to deliver convenient healthcare to professional drivers coast to coast we are pleased to be working with Dr. Royce Brough to grow a national network of velocity through franchising and licensing,” stated Bob Perry, president of Roadside Medical Clinic + Lab and vice chair of the American Transportation Association Safety Management Council’s Health & Wellness Working Group. “Dr. Brough is an accomplished physician and we are fortunate to have him on board with Roadside Medical Clinic + Lab.”
Brough is also founder of The Brough Group and Hospital Physicians of America.
Roadside Medical Clinic + Lab began offering franchising and licensing opportunities within a limited number of markets in February 2009. Since then the company has secured sites in Tennessee, Arkansas, Illinois and Georgia.
Through an exclusive partnership with Pilot Travel Centers, the company provides cost-effective convenient care medical services including DOT physicals and compliance, wellness programs, sleep apnea studies and treatment and nutritional products for drivers. Pilot is the largest operator of truck stops in the United States with more than 300 locations in 41 states. Roadside Medical Clinic + Lab has planned for a total of 80 sites throughout the United States located exclusively at Pilot Travel Centers in order to meet the needs of the 4.2 million over-the-road professional drivers.
