Weekday Walk-In Clinic Opens at Salida Health Center
SALIDA, Colo.—Beginning Tuesday, Dec. 13, the HRRMC Salida Health Center, located at 550 W. Hwy 50, will open walk-in clinic hours to the public.
The walk-in clinic will open under limited hours, Monday through Friday, from 3 – 5 p.m. Limited services are available at this time, including mild sicknesses and minor injuries. No imaging nor x-ray services are available, and lab testing is limited to tests that do not require bloodwork.
“Opening walk-in clinic hours in Salida is something HRRMC has had on our radar for some time now,” said HRRMC CEO Bob Morasko. “We see a large volume of residents and tourists alike visit our walk-in clinic in Buena Vista, and saw the need for a similar clinic in the southern region of our county. We will continue to expand services at the Salida Health Center walk-in clinic given demand over time.”
Patients who would like to access the walk-in clinic can enter at Salida Health Center and check in at the same front desk as appointment-based patients seeing their primary care provider. The walk-in clinic is first come, first served and no appointments are available.
Mild sicknesses and minor injuries to be seen at the walk-in clinic for include cold, cough, fever, sore throat, bronchitis, sprains, minor cuts and broken bones (i.e. finger or toe), ear and sinus infections, limb pain, vomiting or diarrhea, urinary tract infections and more. Patients with severe injuries, life-threatening conditions and medical emergencies should go directly to the closest Emergency Room.
