The Walk-in Clinic diagnoses and treats common illnesses and minor injuries. We are available by appointment for all other healthcare needs.We provide evaluation and treatment by a registered nurse or nurse practitioner. Medical Doctors are readily available if a higher level of care is required.
Walk-in appointments are often available, but not guaranteed. The Walk-In Clinic is not available the last hour of each day.Check in at the reception desk in the main lobby.
