WellTech Internal Medicine in Johnson City held its official ribbon-cutting ceremony this morning with the Johnson City Chamber of Commerce. The new practice, located in the Tech Park, welcomed family, friends, and community members for the celebration.
Leslie Silance, founder and nurse practitioner, described the day as wonderful, feeling blessed to be surrounded by family and friends. After a long journey, opening the practice brought a breath of fresh air.
Leslie Silance’s Background and Decision to Open Her Own Practice
Leslie Silance began her career as a hospitalist at Holston Valley Medical Centre. She later moved into outpatient care, where she continued serving patients. During that time, she saw an opportunity to open another door for patients seeking more individualised care outside of major health systems.
She wanted to focus on building strong, long-term relationships with patients. At WellTech Internal Medicine, the team takes a more personalised approach to healthcare. They use a holistic method that addresses the mind, body, and spirit while focusing on overall wellness.
Services Offered at WellTech Internal Medicine
The practice provides annual exams and acute illness management. Improved access and a focus on preventive medicine help keep patients out of the hospital.
Services include telemedicine and in-office treatments such as IV hydration for patients experiencing dehydration. The team also provides care for individuals with COPD and CHF who might otherwise require hospital admission.
Preventive care constitutes a primary focus. During appointments, the team reviews screenings, including colonoscopies, bone density scans, and other relevant tests, to promote patient wellness.
Patient Access and Next Steps
WellTech Internal Medicine accepts most major insurance plans and self-pay patients, enhancing healthcare accessibility and providing an additional option for the region.
The practice is now fully moved in and will begin seeing patients later in July, welcoming both new and existing patients.
A Heartfelt Approach to Care
Leslie Silance brings her heart into her profession. Many attendees at the ribbon-cutting expressed how happy they were with her success. She shared that this step was something she felt called to do, and she is committed to following that path while providing compassionate care.
