Winston Salem, N.C.-Based Health Centers Moves to Clemmons
Posted on: Thursday, 8 September 2005, 21:00 CDT
Sep. 9--CLEMMONS--Aegis Family Health Centers is moving its headquarters from Winston-Salem to the Broyhill Office Suites at The Old Clemmons School, the company said yesterday.
Lewis S. Thorp, the president and chief executive of Aegis, said that the company is moving primarily because the space it was subleasing from iLIANT at 2000 Frontis Plaza Boulevard is no longer available.
He said that the company's new setting -- surrounded by a new school, a public library, houses and a church -- is the perfect spot.
"We think that the style of life here and the community atmosphere really goes along well with our philosophy of how we run our physician's offices," Thorp said. "We want our physician's offices to be the community doctor, the community practice, not some big corporate center that someone goes to."
Aegis is a subsidiary of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. It has about 170 employees, more than 40 of whom are health-care providers in 12 practices and seven counties throughout northwest North Carolina. Seventeen people work in the corporate office.
Aegis' new headquarters is about five miles from several of its practices in Winston-Salem and is closer to many of its doctors' offices than the office on Frontis Drive, Thorp said.
With the move, Aegis' office space increased to 5,000 square feet from 3,600 square feet. The company also has an option to lease an additional 6,000 square feet for a year.
Throp said that the company has considered opening a health clinic in the office complex but has no definite plans.
"We're always looking at different opportunities for expanding, but we only do that if it makes sense from a practice and a business point of view," he said.
Aegis is the latest of several companies to move into the newly renovated old Clemmons school. Other tenants include Allen Tate Realtors, Temecula Bank of California, Tripp Harrington Photography and The Furniture Mart.
Ed Broyhill, the president of Broyhill Office Suites, said that Aegis will be a key anchor in the office complex, which has 5,000 square feet remaining for lease.
"We will provide them an environment where they can be productive and grow further," he said.
The complex offers conference space that Aegis plans to use for large meetings. In the past, because of limited space at its Frontis Plaza headquarters the company relied on other space owned by the medical center for large meetings.
