May 5, 2026- Piedmont is continuing its regional expansion with the opening of its first primary care location in Auburn, Alabama, a move aimed at improving access to routine and preventative healthcare services for residents in Lee County and surrounding communities.
The new facility, known as Piedmont Primary Care of Auburn, officially opened its doors to patients aged 16 and older and is designed to bring more convenient, community-based care to East Alabama. The clinic offers services including same-day appointments, annual checkups, chronic disease management, and preventive care, along with telehealth video visits to expand access even further.
The Auburn clinic is led by board-certified internal medicine physician Dr. Richard Horak II, who brings more than two decades of experience living and practicing in the community.
Piedmont officials say the new location is part of a broader effort to reduce barriers to care and address growing demand for primary care services in the region. By expanding into Auburn, the health system aims to help patients better manage long-term health needs while improving access to everyday medical services closer to home.
