Cleveland Clinic has opened a new urgent care and outpatient care facility in Avon, Ohio. The new facility, located at 1813 Nagel Road, is an additional option for patients who have urgent medical needs that don’t require an emergency department visit. The location also creates more capacity for primary care services.
“We are committed to addressing the healthcare needs of the communities we call home,” said Neil P. Smith, D.O., president of Cleveland Clinic’s West Submarket. “This new facility will allow us to serve more patients close to where they live and expand their access to urgent and primary care.”
The updated space, which includes 14 exam rooms and X-ray capabilities, was previously a medical facility and has a layout that’s conducive to primary and urgent care visits. Cleveland Clinic Avon Hospital and Richard E. Jacobs Health Center are nearby and offer additional imaging such as ultrasound and MRI.
“A primary care provider can help patients detect and manage a range of health issues,” said B. Bryan Graham, D.O., chair of Urgent and Express Care at Cleveland Clinic. “Sometimes, an individual’s needs are more immediate, which is why it's important to have an urgent care option.”
Cleveland Clinic has several emergency departments, express care locations, primary care offices, and offers virtual visits. Each provides a different level of care.
