Lincoln Family Medicine will join Bothwell Regional Health Center effective August 1, bringing Bothwell’s number of family practices to six.

A press release says Lincoln Family Medicine, a primary care clinic in Benton County, is owned by Dr. Donald K. Allcorn, a long-time family physician.

Keith Morrow, Bothwell Clinic Operations vice president, said the clinic’s new name will be Bothwell Lincoln Family Medicine and that the merger has been in the works for over a year.

While ownership of the clinic is changing, all employees, the phone number and the location at 302 South Highway 65 will remain the same.
