MURFREESBORO, TN — There’s a new name in town when it comes to tackling some of the most pressing health challenges facing our community. PathPoint Health, a metabolic health clinic, has officially opened its doors in Murfreesboro, marking a significant step forward for residents dealing with obesity, diabetes, and other chronic metabolic disorders.
Although PathPoint Health quietly began serving patients back in June, the clinic celebrated its official ribbon cutting last Thursday, November 13th. What sets PathPoint Health apart isn’t just its focus on metabolic health, it’s the way the clinic does it.
The Murfreesboro location is part of a strategic joint venture with Ascension Saint Thomas, and it sits conveniently near Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital. This collaboration is all about improving health outcomes by making care more coordinated and accessible. Patients at PathPoint Health benefit from a model that brings together medical management, nutrition, behavioral health, and physical activity under one roof. It’s a holistic approach, designed to meet people where they are and help them achieve long-term wellness.
Grant Rutledge, CEO and Founder of PathPoint Health, and Daphne David, CEO of Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford, both spoke at the ribbon cutting about the power of collaboration. They emphasized that by working together, they can address Murfreesboro’s growing health challenges more effectively.
And the need is clear. In just a few months, PathPoint has already welcomed over 1,100 patients, referred by more than 140 providers from specialties like primary care, bariatrics, cardiology, and orthopedics. The clinic’s rapid growth reflects a real demand for accessible, coordinated care, something highlighted in the latest Community Health Needs Assessment from Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford. With 10% of adults in this area with diabetes and 35% meeting criteria for obesity, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
PathPoint Health is located at 1508 Carl Adams Drive, Suite 400. For more information, visit pathpointhealth.com or call (629) 236-2549.
