A ribbon cutting ceremony by the Brownwood Area Chamber of Commerce was held Friday morning at the new Hendrick Health Urgent Care Clinic which opens Monday, May 17, in Brownwood.
The clinic, located at 400 E. Commerce Street, will provide walk-in care for minor illnesses and injuries.
Hendrick Urgent Care will be open weekdays from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. and weekends from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. Most major insurances are accepted.
The teams at Hendrick Urgent Care will provide care for a variety of conditions, including:
- Fever
- Cold and flu
- Minor cuts that may require stitches
- Possible broken bones or simple fractures
- Minor, eye, ear and skin infections
- Severe sore throat
- Sprains and strains
- Vomiting and diarrhea
“This will provide those, who do not have a primary care physician, a way to connect to Hendrick. Sometimes the first connection they have with Hendrick is on an outpatient basis whether it be lab or radiology. This will allow us to connect them to primary care so they can get care that they need in addition to urgent care,” said Krista Baty, Chief Administrative Officer at Hendrick Medical Center Brownwood.
The clinic will be equipped with digital X-ray and laboratory services. As a seamless extension of Hendrick Health, patients requiring follow-up care will have fast-track access to Hendrick physicians and specialists.
