Editor’s note: The following press release was received from Edgerton Hospital.

Edgerton Hospital and Health Services has opened a new, walk-in, healthcare option, in downtown Edgerton, WI.

The Edgerton Hospital Quick Care, located at 4 Burdick Street (next to Edward Jones), is a convenient option for people dealing with non-emergency ailments, who are unable to be seen within 1-2 days by their primary care provider.  No appointment is needed, and most patients are expected to be seen and, on their way, within about an hour.

Quick Care is very similar to Urgent Care. Services include stiches and wound repair, testing for strep, UTIs, STDs, and common upper respiratory viruses.  Quick Care patients needing x-ray, or other radiological services, will be referred to the emergency department at nearby Edgerton Hospital.

Edgerton Hospital CEO, Marc Augsburger noted the importance of this transition.  “We are excited to open the new Quick Care in a historical building in downtown Edgerton, and to transition our walk-in, non-emergency services to a new location.  The Emergency Department will continue to handle all your emergency care needs, 24/7.  We look forward to serving community members with quality, walk-in, non-emergency medical services at our new Quick Care.”

The Edgerton Hospital Quick Care is staffed by medical professionals experienced in Urgent Care services, including a Nurse Practitioner, or Physician Assistant, and Certified Medical Assistants.
