Albany North Slappey Medical Supply Hub – Linking Dougherty, Lee, and Terrell Counties
Albany’s North Slappey Boulevard corridor connects Phoebe North, Lee County’s booming suburbs, Terrell County’s rural clinics, and the evacuation routes toward Columbus and Atlanta. Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #4517 at 2586 N Slappey Boulevard keeps urgent care centers, EMS agencies, long-term care facilities, behavioral health programs, and industrial plants supplied without driving to Macon.
We stage behavioral health kits for Aspire Behavioral, dialysis supplies for DaVita Lee County, stroke and cardiac kits for Phoebe North, ALS caches for Lee County EMS, occupational packages for Coats & Clark and Coheasie industrial parks, and Chehaw Park event medicine gear. “Medical suppliers near me” for North Albany, Leesburg, Dawson, and Smithville routes through this counter.
North Slappey has weathered tornadoes, Flint River floods, and rapid population growth. Our logistics blueprint mirrors those challenges with hardened storage, bilingual documentation, mobile-friendly confirmation links, and direct coordination with Lee County EMA and Albany Police for escorts when US‑19 gridlocks.

North Slappey’s Community Role
North Slappey Boulevard evolved from a mid-century textile corridor to today’s healthcare and education district. The area sheltered evacuees after Hurricanes Michael and Idalia, handled mass testing during COVID‑19, and served as the logistics staging ground after the 2017 tornadoes. Our counter keeps that legacy alive with elevated storage, generator backup, and command-channel integration.
Regional Demographics
Service area ~180,000 residents. Racial mix: 58% Black, 34% White, 5% Hispanic/Latino, 3% other. Median household income $48,000. Health priorities: chronic disease burdens, behavioral health access, maternal mortality, and severe-weather trauma. Rural EMS drive times exceed 30 minutes, so local caches reduce treatment delays.
Licensing & Compliance
Georgia Board of Pharmacy wholesale license, Dougherty & Lee County vendor approvals, DEA Schedule II-V, FDA/IRB, Joint Commission/DNV alignment, OSHA/NIOSH, FEMA ICS/NIMS, HIPAA/HITECH, and Aspire Behavioral Health vendor credentials.
