Services

Health care experts know that 30% of emergency patients are often better cared for in an urgent care setting for faster care in a convenient neighborhood location. This center will accommodate those patients with access to the care they need without having to go to a hospital that operates to provide more complex services. 

The center uses cost-efficient, walk-in urgent care for healthcare needs such as colds, coughs, earaches, fever, minor sprains/strains, rashes, minor injuries, vomiting/diarrhea, etc. It will be equipped with point of care testing such for flu, strep, RSV, mono, etc.

Radiology Services

A critical component of the outpatient clinic will be diagnostic testing. The Mercy Care Center uses imaging services to identify diseases before they become severe or chronic, and provide patients the right level of care through early intervention and navigation to appropriate providers. 

Tests that will be performed at Mercy Care Center include: 

• Computed Tomography (CT) 
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) 
• Ultrasound 
• X-ray 
• Digital Mammogram (Breast Imaging) TomosynthesisDEXA Scan (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) 
• Bone Mineral Density Exam

Care Coordination 

The Mercy Care Center will offers patients access to care coordination services to connect with specialty providers, manage appointments/care plan, and develop a roadmap for care. 

Care coordination focuses on transitions of care, patient engagement, and advocacy, including:

•  Developing evidence-based, individualized patient-centric goals to achieve quality healthcare outcomes
