The new Convenient Care Center located at 7651 Raystown Shopping Center Drive, Huntingdon is scheduled to open tomorrow morning. The new center will feature a walk-in clinic, a QuickLAB, X-ray services, occupational health care, and orthopedic and sports medicine care.
The new, 6200 square-foot facility will include eight patient exam rooms, a blood draw lab, X-ray facilities, physician offices and nursing station. Family practice physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, orthopedists, a fellowship-trained sports medicine physician, radiology and lab technicians, and support personnel will staff the center.
The walk-in clinic will care for those with acute medical needs such as fevers, ear infections, colds and flu, sprains and strains, digestive disorders and other medical concerns. Insurance, cash, check or credit card payments will be accepted. It will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. weekends and holidays.
The QuickLAB will be equipped to draw blood and take throat cultures, urine samples and many other specimens. QuickLAB services are open to the community, not just J.C. Blair patients, and it will be open Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekends.
J.C. Blair's Occupational Health office, currently located on the hospital campus, will move to the new center. This office works with area employers to provide new employee physicals, CDL and DOT physicals, drug testing, vaccines, care for workplace injuries and management of workers compensation issues. It will be open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
University Orthopedics' William Tyndall, M.D., will join J.C. Blair's Robert Dahmus, M.D, Eric Kutz, D.O., and William DeMuth, M.D., as well as family practice and sports medicine fellowship-trained physician Gregor Thebaud, D.O., in moving their offices to form the J.C.
