MURFREESBORO, TN (WGNS) - Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford is celebrating a meaningful milestone this week as Maple Street Medical officially becomes part of the Ascension Saint Thomas family under its new name: Ascension Saint Thomas Medical Partners Maple Street Primary Care. The clinic, located at 130 S. Maple Street in historic downtown Murfreesboro, has long been a familiar and trusted stop for local families, and this transition strengthens its connection to a broader network of coordinated, compassionate care.

Leaders, providers, and community partners gathered to mark the moment, underscoring how essential primary care is to the health of Rutherford County. Prevention, early detection, and long-term relationships are at the heart of good health, and this partnership aims to make those connections even stronger.

Patients will still see the same providers they know and trust — Elizabeth Kelley, PA, Courtney Waters, FNP‑C, and Katherine Horn, AGACNP‑BC — and the practice will continue its commitment to high‑quality, patient‑centered care. What changes is the added benefit of seamless access to Ascension Saint Thomas specialists, services, and care coordination across the region.

Providers at Ascension Saint Thomas focus on the whole person, from physical health to mental and emotional well‑being. Every visit begins with a conversation, giving patients space to share new symptoms, concerns, or changes in their health. From routine check‑ups to managing chronic conditions, the goal is to build a care plan that fits each patient’s life. And when advanced care is needed, the team helps connect the dots — whether that means imaging, lab work, therapy, or specialty care.

The Maple Street team continues to offer a full range of services for families and adults, including wellness visits, care for minor illnesses, chronic condition management, screenings, vaccinations, and support for mental and emotional health. As needs evolve, the practice is ready with the right care at the right time.
