We have some exciting news! Hopscotch Primary Care is opening a new clinic in Spindale, NC, and we have an amazing doctor joining our team. Meet Dr. Keturah Bell, MD. She’s a primary care physician who truly cares about the people she serves. We think you’re going to love her.
She Knows What Good Care Should Feel Like
Before joining Hopscotch, Dr. Bell worked in a busy traditional practice. She saw a lot of patients every day. But she felt like she never had enough time to really help them.
“The extra time I’m able to spend with Hopscotch patients has been really valuable for me, and I hope helpful for them as well,” she says.
At Hopscotch, things are different. Dr. Bell has the time to sit down, listen, and really get to know you. When patients feel heard, they feel more comfortable discussing their health. And those honest conversations can make a big difference in your health.
She Goes the Extra Mile for Her Patients
Dr. Bell believes that good health is a healthy lifestyle with exercise, good nutrition, and preventative care. It’s about your whole life. She takes the time to look at the big picture of a person’s life; both physical health and mental well-being.
One of her patients was new to Hopscotch. Dr. Bell quickly realized the patient’s neighborhood wasn’t safe, and that was getting in the way of her health. Dr. Bell worked with the Hopscotch team to help find the patient a safer place to live, somewhere she could finally take those daily walks she’d been wanting to take.
“I think this had a great impact on her health,” Dr. Bell says with a smile.
You’re Not Just Seeing One Person. You’re Getting a Whole Team.
At Hopscotch, Dr. Bell doesn’t work alone. She partners with nurses, care coordinators, and other providers who know the community well. Together, they make sure you get the right help at the right time.
“When I work with other people, they know the patient in a different way, or they know the community in a different way,” she explains. “Bringing all of that together creates better health outcomes for patients.”
You won’t feel alone in taking care of your health. We’ve got you.
Finally, a Doctor Who Takes Time with You
Many of our patients are on Medicare. Dr. Bell knows this group well, and she’s passionate about serving them. Too often, older patients feel rushed. They leave appointments with questions still in their head and worries still in their heart.
One of her patients told her it was the first time in a long time that she felt like she’d had a real doctor’s appointment.
That’s what we want for every single person who walks through our doors. You deserve to be heard. You deserve to have your questions answered. And with Dr. Bell, you will be.
Here for Our Community, No Matter What
Dr. Bell has seen what Hopscotch is made of. When Hurricane Helene hit Western North Carolina, it was devastating. Many clinics had to close, and it was difficult for community members to get around.
Hopscotch stepped up. Clinics helped each other. Patients got their refills. Care kept going.
“Hopscotch is more community-oriented,” Dr. Bell says. “That really helped improve the overall health care of the patients.”
We’d Love to Be Your Doctor
If you’re in the Spindale area and looking for a doctor who will really know you, Dr. Bell is ready to meet you. At Hopscotch, we believe great healthcare starts with a great relationship. And that starts with a conversation.
Welcome to the Hopscotch family, Dr. Bell. We’re so glad you’re here.
