Notice of Practice Closure


Stepping Stones Primary Care will permanently close on Friday, August 28, 2026. This will be our final day of providing patient care. After that date, we will no longer be available to provide medical treatment, routine prescription refills, respond to medical questions, or schedule appointments.

Your health and well-being remain our top priority. To help ensure continuity of your care, we strongly encourage you to establish care with a new primary care provider as soon as possible, particularly if you have chronic medical conditions or require ongoing prescription medications.

Prescription Refills

Prescription refill requests received on or before Friday, August 28, 2026, will be reviewed and processed when medically appropriate. Requests received after that date cannot be honored and should be directed to your new healthcare provider. If you anticipate needing medication refills before establishing care with another provider, please contact our office as soon as possible.
