MedExpress opens urgent care center in Fairmont

December 29 2011

MedExpress Urgent Care, West Virginia's patient-centered urgent care provider, opened its newest center today at 630 Fairmont Avenue in Fairmont. To celebrate the opening, MedExpress is offering free flu shots, while supplies last, through January 4 to all patients who visit the new center.

With the opening of its new Fairmont location, MedExpress operates 14 centers throughout West Virginia and 74 nationwide.

MedExpress is a full-service, walk-in urgent care center, offering treatment for everyday illness and injury to people of all ages. There is always a physician on site, supported by a full medical team. MedExpress is dedicated to providing patients with the highest level of quality health care in a warm and welcoming environment.

"We're proud to be a West Virginia company so we're thrilled to be expanding in our home state," said MedExpress CEO, Frank Alderman, MD. "We look forward to bringing high-quality health care to each and every patient who comes through our doors."

MedExpress Urgent Care's dedication to its patients' well-being extends beyond the in-center experience. MedExpress strives to streamline care within its local medical communities, support best practices and ensure high-quality patient outcomes.

"We recognize that patients may need specialty care and follow-up," said Alderman. "By coordinating care with other health care providers, our goal is to provide our patients with convenience and serve as a portal of entry/front door into the wide spectrum of health care in the community."

The Fairmont MedExpress will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week. Several more centers are planned for 2012. MedExpress also operates centers in Pennsylvania, Colorado and Florida.
