NEA Baptist Memorial Hospital held a ribbon cutting on Monday, March 4, to celebrate enhanced services at the new Red Wolf Clinic, located in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Formerly Stadium Clinic, Red Wolf Clinic will continue to offer family medicine services, along with a new outpatient imaging center and Urgent Care Plus, which is equipped to provide a level of care between emergency services and urgent care.
Staffed with emergency-trained physicians and instant access to the NEA Baptist Imaging Center on-site, Urgent Care Plus is capable of treating patients with higher illness and injury levels, such as lacerations that may require sutures, minor orthopedic injuries like fractures and dislocations, abdominal pain, new onset low back pain, head injuries without loss of consciousness and more.
“Our emergency department saw upwards of 50,000 visits last year with many of those being non-emergent,” said Melanie Edens, chief operating officer for NEA Baptist. “Urgent Care Plus will offer patients a higher level of care without the high cost of an emergency department visit.”
The clinic is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
