Southern Orthopaedic Surgeons has marked a major milestone with the groundbreaking of its new 14,000-square-foot medical office at The Marketplace at 17 Springs in Millbrook.

The ceremony, held Wednesday, Oct. 7, brought together physicians, healthcare leaders, city officials, project partners and community stakeholders to celebrate the start of construction on the new facility.

The new facility will bring comprehensive clinic services, walk-in care for orthopaedic injuries, physical therapy and MRI imaging much closer to home for residents of Millbrook and the surrounding River Region. While Southern Orthopaedic Surgeons already maintains several locations throughout the area, including Montgomery, Prattville, Tallassee and Wetumpka, this new addition significantly bolsters local access.

The upcoming development represents a major investment in the health and wellness of Elmore County residents, featuring advanced equipment designed to accommodate all patients with ease and convenience. The facility is expected to open its doors in late 2027.

The Southern Orthopaedic Surgeons groundbreaking marks another major milestone for Millbrook, building on the tremendous momentum seen across the 17 Springs development over the past few months. The thriving community hub has recently celebrated major additions, including the opening of Baumhower’s Victory Grille as well as the upcoming arrivals of Chick-fil-A and 1220 Cafe.

City and county leaders emphasize that the project fulfills a primary focus of improving the quality of life for local citizens through cooperation and regional growth.
