West is the way to recovery!!!----RICHMOND HILL, GA

 

The Richmond Hill Clinic opened in 1992. While originally a part of the Richmond Hill Fitness Center, the owners found that the fitness environment was not an ideal setting for rehabilitation.  The owners sold the Fitness Center in 1998 and relocated West Rehab to the Food Lion shopping center.  As the practice expanded, the owners relocated again to the old Richmond Hill Police Station in 2001.  In 2006, West Rehab relocated to a new facility in the Crossroads Center on Highway 17.  This clinic provides a full range of therapeutic services
