MedExpress announces the opening of its newest Nebraska neighborhood medical center in Grand Island on July 19. The center, located at 750 Allen Dr., was acquired from Physicians Immediate Care. As a gift to the community, the Grand Island center will offer free sports physicals to patients ages 5 and up from July 19 through August 1.
The Grand Island center will join two existing MedExpress Nebraska locations in Lincoln and Fremont. MedExpress plans to bring the same warm, welcoming approach to more communities throughout the state this year, beginning with a new center in La Vista on July 26 and three centers in Omaha this fall.
“MedExpress is a resource for busy families that need affordable, high-quality health care close to home,” said Tim Ewing, MedExpress Area Manager for Nebraska.
“Our new Grand Island center is our next step in helping ensure Nebraska patients can receive quality treatment when and where they need it. We’re honored to join the community and to help families, patients, and employees get the great care they deserve,” Ewing continued.
The new center will care for people of all ages, providing urgent care, employer health services, and basic wellness and prevention services. Walk-in treatment is available for everyday illness and injury, including more advanced offerings such as X-rays, IVs, labs, minor surgery, stitches, and treatment for broken bones, sprains, and strains. Local employers can use MedExpress for employer health services including workers’ compensation, injury care, pre- and ongoing employment screenings, physicals, and regulatory exams. Basic wellness and prevention services offered at MedExpress include sports physicals, routine physicals, and immunizations to help Grand Island residents maintain good health.
The center in Grand Island will be open every day from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., with no appointment necessary. MedExpress accepts all major insurances and offers affordable pricing for those without insurance. The center will be staffed by a full medical team, which includes customer service representatives, nurses, medical providers, and radiologic technologists. As a community health care partner, MedExpress believes strongly in the importance of working with fellow community health care providers to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients. When necessary, the Grand Island team can help refer patients within the broader health care system, including referrals to specialists, primary care physicians, and hospitals.
