Dr. Brian Adkinson examines Mark Van Horn, a dispatcher, at Concentra Medical Center’s clinic in Prime Inc.’s Millennium Building.
When Prime drivers stop by the company’s new 59,500 square-foot Millennium Building in Springfield, Mo., they can give their truck a checkup while they get one, too.
The company offers a number of services including Dr. Brian W. Adkison, D.O.
Adkison’s clinic treats everything from the sniffles to more serious ailments like sleep apnea for Prime employees and their families.
“He works really good with truck drivers,” says Jim Bob Lee, a three-year driver for Prime. “He’s easy to go see, easy to talk to and easy to communicate with.”
“Since I have been seeing him, I’ve lost 146 pounds, and my blood sugar and blood pressure have gone down,” Lee says. Lee also has sleep apnea that Adkison identified and helps him monitor.
“I was 460 pounds. I had hit the bottom. I had to do something. I could hardly breathe, hardly walk,” Lee says. Adkison is helping Lee get into better health and become a better driver in the process.
“I’ve done better in 2003 than in a long time. My bosses, customers and the fleet managers at Prime have all noticed,” Lee says.
