MedExpress opened a new neighborhood medical center on Dec. 16 to offer more West Virginia families and employers timely and convenient health care
Dec. 23-Jan. 5 ELKINS, W.Va. (Dec. 14, 2016) – MedExpress will open its newest West Virginia neighborhood medical center to patients in Elkins on Dec. 16. The center, located at 1513 Harrison Ave., was acquired from Elkins Express Care. The new location represents the 28th MedExpress center in West Virginia.
As a welcoming gift to the community, the center will offer two weeks of free flu shots for patients ages 9 and up from Dec. 23-Jan. 5, excluding Dec. 25 as MedExpress centers are closed to allow employees to spend time with their families.
“We’re excited to expand our presence in our home state of West Virginia. We know how busy our patients’ lives are and that unexpected illnesses and injuries can be an inconvenience for families,” said Tracy Martin, MedExpress Area Manager for West Virginia. “At MedExpress, we’re here to serve the community and make health care as easy and convenient as possible. We treat each patient the way we would want our families to be treated – with great care in a timely manner.”
MedExpress centers are open every day from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. with no appointments necessary, offering a convenient option for consumers with immediate health care needs.
The centers offer walk-in treatment for everyday illness and injury through its urgent care services, which include more advanced offerings such as X-rays, IVs, labs, minor surgery, stitches and treatment for sprains and broken bones. MedExpress also offers basic wellness services such as sports physicals, routine physicals, immunizations and tobacco cessation counseling. In addition, MedExpress offers employer health services such as workers’ compensation, injury care and pre-employment screenings and physicals.
MedExpress centers accept most major insurances and offer affordable pricing for those without insurance. Centers are staffed by a full medical team, which includes customer service representatives, nurses, providers and radiologic technologists. As a neighborhood medical center and community health care partner, MedExpress can help refer patients, when necessary, within the broader health care system, including referrals to specialists, primary care physicians and hospitals.
