Campbell Clinic to Open Dedicated Physical Therapy Center in Bartlett
Campbell Clinic Expands Its Bartlett Presence
Campbell Clinic is bringing a new type of healthcare facility to Bartlett: its first location in the Memphis market dedicated exclusively to physical therapy.
The 7,138-square-foot clinic is expected to open in December at 2841 Kirby Whitten Road, in the former O’Reilly Auto Parts building next to Aldi. The facility will be staffed by nine providers and focus on orthopedic, sports and spine rehabilitation.
Campbell Clinic CEO Daniel Shumate said the organization had been looking for a suitable Bartlett location for several years, dating back to its expansion into Arlington in 2022.
“We just couldn’t find the right location,” Shumate told The Daily Memphian. “This one just fell into our laps.”
The location is intended to make physical therapy more convenient for patients, many of whom need appointments multiple times a week.
“Physical therapy is one of those things that ... patients are only willing to drive so far for,” Shumate said. “So the convenience factor becomes a big deal.”
The Bartlett clinic will offer rehabilitation for orthopedic, sports and spine conditions, including advanced spine therapy, sports physical therapy, manual therapy, dry needling and specialized scoliosis treatment. Two of the physical therapists will be bilingual, providing care in English and Spanish.
Reusing an Existing Commercial Building
The project transforms the former freestanding O’Reilly Auto Parts store into a healthcare facility. O’Reilly relocated to a larger space across Stage Road in the Stage Centre commercial plaza.
The renovation includes a redesigned building entrance, updated exterior finishes, new lighting and improvements to the parking and pedestrian access. The front sidewalk and adjacent parking areas are being reworked for ADA compliance, with two additional accessible parking spaces and an accessible walkway to the entrance.
Grinder, Taber & Grinder is handling the interior buildout. Belz Construction Services is overseeing the design and construction work.
A Connection to Bartlett’s Medical Device Industry
Campbell Clinic’s arrival also adds another healthcare-related organization to a city with an established medical device industry.
Bartlett is home to medical technology and manufacturing companies including Arch Medical Solutions, Grace Medical, Elos Medtech, Lincotek Medical and Olympus Surgical Technologies.
John Threadgill, president of the Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce, noted Campbell Clinic’s longstanding influence on the region’s medical services and medical device industry.
The Greater Memphis Medical Device Council, whose member companies work with Campbell Clinic and the Campbell Clinic Foundation on workforce development and orthopedic industry growth, also sees an opportunity for stronger regional collaboration.
Chris Locke, the council’s executive director, said the new location could strengthen connections among healthcare providers, industry partners and workforce development initiatives.
Campbell Clinic was founded in 1909 and has continued expanding its presence throughout the Mid-South. In recent years, the organization has added locations in Arlington, Olive Branch, Collierville and Millington. Shumate said additional locations and expansions of existing facilities are also being considered.
The Bartlett clinic is expected to welcome its first patients in December 2026.
