WellNow Urgent Care, one of the country’s fastest-growing urgent care providers, announced that it will open the doors to its newest center in Escanaba on Thursday, December 29, 2022.
Located at 205 N. Lincoln Road, Escanaba, MI 49829, the new facility offers treatment for non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses, COVID-19 testing and treatment, and occupational medicine services seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Patients can simply walk in or, if preferred, schedule a visit online.
“Injuries and illnesses show up at the most inconvenient times, including evenings and weekends,” said John Radford, M.D., President at WellNow Urgent Care. “Whether you suspect you have COVID-19 or the flu, or you have an injury that can’t wait, we’re proud to be a trusted destination to provide the care that patients need, when they need it, rather than sitting for hours in an emergency room or delaying care.”
Urgent care centers are an increasingly important part of the U.S. healthcare marketplace, providing patients with much-needed access to quality care with shorter wait times and lower costs than the traditional emergency room. The new center in Escanaba will provide timely treatment for ailments such as sprains, burns, lacerations, colds, flu and allergies, as well as on-site X-rays, lab testing and physicals. Occupational medicine services, including Workers’ Compensation assistance, pre-employment physicals, drug and alcohol testing and more are also available on a walk-in basis.
COVID-19 testing is available at all WellNow Urgent Care locations. Patients who receive a positive COVID-19 test result and meet the necessary medical criteria may be prescribed an antiviral medication such as Paxlovid. Additional information about COVID-19 testing at WellNow, including testing cost and insurance coverage, can be found at WellNow.com/COVID-19/.
Patients who prefer to speak with a WellNow provider virtually, either from the comfort of home or on the go, can access the company’s Virtual Care platform 24/7 from their personal computer, tablet or smartphone. WellNow accepts most insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid. A full list of locations and services can be found at WellNow.com.
