CHICAGO and ATLANTA, Aug. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- VillageMD announced today it is opening two new Village Medical locations in the Atlanta area, bringing its total in the Atlanta area to eight locations with plans to open four more in 2021.

I believe Village Medical is the best way forward in offering care for our patients," said Dr. Robert Hall, who is formerly with Internal Medicine of Griffin, which first opened more than 60 years ago. "Now more than ever, a patient's relationship with their primary care provider is paramount.
