“We know that not every medical situation can wait for an appointment with your primary care provider – but it also may not require a trip to the emergency room,” said Michael Ortmeier, senior director of clinic operations for Methodist Health System. “With its convenient hours and location, Methodist Urgent Care – Fremont makes appropriate quality care with a Methodist provider more accessible.”
In addition to urgent care, the clinic will offer occupational health services to clients in the community.
“This clinic location not only connects people with urgent care when they need it but also helps Methodist Fremont Health better meet our community’s evolving health care needs,” said Brett Richmond, president and CEO of Methodist Fremont Health.
