St. Peter’s Health Partners and WellNow Urgent Care Open New Center in Glens Falls
St. Peter’s Health Partners and WellNow Urgent Care have opened the doors to their newest center in the Capital Region in Glens Falls.
Located at 202 Broad Street, Glens Falls, NY 12801, the new facility offers treatments for non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. with no appointment needed. A second facility operated by WellNow and St. Peter’s Health Partners will open in Troy on December 23.
“Through our joint venture with St. Peter’s Health Partners, we’ve been able to grow the urgent care presence significantly throughout the Capital Region in just over a year,” said WellNow Urgent Care President John Radford, M.D. “With the opening of our sixth center in Glens Falls, and with a seventh location coming soon in Troy, we’re proud to offer the local community even more convenience and peace of mind for all of their urgent care and COVID-19 testing needs.”
“Providing high-quality and accessible urgent care services to residents across the Capital Region is essential for the overall health and well-being of our community,” said James K. Reed, M.D., President and CEO of St. Peter’s Health Partners. “As the pandemic continues to impact lives, we remain dedicated, together with our partner WellNow Urgent Care, to providing even more options for immediate medical treatment, as well as serving as a dedicated COVID-19 testing resource.”
The new center provides timely service for ailments such as sprains, burns, colds and allergies while also providing on-site X-rays, lab testing and physicals. Patients needing urgent care services are treated on a walk-in basis but may also visit WellNow.com to check in online or view up-to-date wait times. WellNow accepts most insurance, including Medicare, Medicaid, Fidelis and Veterans Affairs TriWest.
COVID-19-related services, such as molecular swab and blood antibody serology testing, are also offered. Patients should book an appointment online to be seen but do not need a referral or prescription to receive testing.
WellNow Urgent Care also offers Capital Region employers a wide range of occupational medicine services. From DOT/19A physicals and Workers’ Compensation assistance to respirator fit exams and audiometry, businesses can partner with WellNow to develop a custom occupational medicine program fit for their industry.
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. The opening of the Glens Falls center joins a growing list of Capital Region locations, including Albany, Clifton Park, Hudson, Latham and Niskayuna.
