(May 12, 2016) Atlantic General Hospital announced that community members could now receive immediate care for injuries and sudden illnesses on the weekends, at their Atlantic ImmediCare clinic in Berlin.
The walk-in clinic, located within the Atlantic Health Center on the hospital’s main campus, has been operating as an Atlantic ImmediCare location, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, since November. Effective this month, the clinic is now open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays as well.
With the new name comes an expanded service for the community. In addition to treatment for common maladies such as cold, flu, ear infections and UTIs, the clinic now also treats injuries requiring stitches or splinting.
Atlantic General Hospital expanded the services provided at this location, and altered the fee structure, to make care more accessible to individuals who need care when their regular provider is not available.
“Whether it’s because their established doctor doesn’t have any appointments available, they can’t leave work for an appointment, or an illness crops up ‘after hours,’ individuals need an affordable and appropriate alternative to an ER visit,” Michael Franklin, CEO of Atlantic General Hospital, said.
