Niles residents with immediate health care needs now have another option.
WellNow Urgent Care opened a new location Wednesday at 930 S. 11th St. in Niles. The new center will provide walk-in treatment for non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses, COVID-19 testing and treatment, occupational medicine services and more.
WellNow Multi-site Manager Chris Metcalf said during a ribbon-cutting ceremony that the company saw the need in the community to offer faster, less expensive services than an emergency room.
“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.”
The new clinic plans to 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.
The clinic is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Patients can simply walk in or, if preferred, schedule a visit online.
Wellnow has 16 locations in Michigan and expects that number to double next year.
