St. Peter’s Health Partners and WellNow Urgent Care have opened a new location in Clifton Park. Located at 1694 Route 9, Clifton Park, NY 12065, the new location will provide immediate medical care to patients — both with and without insurance — seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Additionally, this facility is the first newly built urgent care location as part of the WellNow and St. Peter’s Health Partners joint venture.
“WellNow Urgent Care is proud to open our first facility alongside St. Peter’s Health Partners to offer individuals and families in Clifton Park greater access to urgent medical care services,” said WellNow Urgent Care President John Radford, M.D. “Together, we look forward to continue building a unified network of urgent care facilities throughout the Capital Region.”
“St. Peter’s Health Partners is excited to be opening this new facility in Clifton Park along with our partners, WellNow,” said James K. Reed, M.D., president and CEO of St. Peter’s Health Partners. “This joint effort reinforces our commitment to ensuring our patients receive the high-quality, compassionate care they are used to receiving from St. Peter’s Health Partners, in the right place, at the right time.”
The newest Clifton Park location provides timely treatment for non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses, such as sprains, strains, colds and the flu, while also providing on-site X-rays, lab testing, and physicals. Patients are treated on a walk-in basis but may also check-in online or view up-to-date facility wait times directly on the company’s homepage. WellNow accepts most insurance, including Medicare, Medicaid, Fidelis and Veterans Affairs TriWest. Employers in the Capital Region are also invited to contact WellNow to discuss its wide range of occupational medicine programs. A full list of services and hours can be found online.
“As WellNow and St. Peter’s Health Partners continue to grow, our commitment to top-rated, patient-centered urgent medical care in the Capital Region remains consistent,” continued Dr. Radford. “We will empower patients in Clifton Park and beyond with convenient and affordable health care options that give them the treatment they need at a time and location that is most accessible to them.”
Announced September 4, 2019, WellNow Urgent Care and St. Peter’s Health Partners entered a collaborative joint venture to create a unified network of urgent care centers across the Capital Region. The strategic agreement marks the first partnership between St. Peter’s Health Partners and WellNow. Through this joint venture, the organizations will double their combined urgent care presence throughout the Capital Region.
Currently operating more than 40 locations across New York and Illinois, the Clifton Park location joins a growing list of Capital Region facilities — with additional facilities planned for Albany, Latham and North Greenbush in 2020.
