MedExpress Urgent Care announces the opening of its newest Illinois neighborhood medical center on Wednesday, June 14 in Peoria at 5038 N. Big Hollow Rd. As a gift to the community, the Peoria center is offering free sports physicals to patients ages five and up from June 14-27.
The center in Peoria 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 Peoria residents maintain good health.
“MedExpress is committed to providing high-quality, convenient, patient-centric care to families, patients, and employees in Peoria,” said Linda Kline, MedExpress Area Manager for Illinois. “From the moment a patient walks through our doors, we’re completely focused on exceeding their expectations and providing the best possible experience."
"We do this by delivering care one person and one relationship at a time. Our patients are at the center of everything we do," said Kline.
The center in Peoria 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 Peoria team can help refer patients within the broader health care system, including referrals to specialists, primary care physicians, and hospitals.
MedExpress has seven neighborhood medical centers in Illinois, with plans to bring the same warm, welcoming approach to more communities across the state in 2017, including a new center in Algonquin, which is slated to open this fall, and Downers Grove this winter.
