The Grundy County Chamber of Commerce participated in a ribbon cutting ceremony last week for a new urgent care facility in Morris.
OSF Healthcare announced the opening of OSF Urgo, its new, modern urgent care.
The term “Urgo” is derived from urgent care for people on the go.
The ribbon cutting and dedication for the new urgent care facility was held on August 30 at 1715 N. Division Street in Morris.
According to Karen Brodbeck, Vice President of Public Relations for OSF, the new urgent care will build on current primary services offered through OSF Healthcare and is designed for individuals and families who might not yet be ready to establish a traditional physician-patient relationship.
OSF Urgo has been designed to deliver basic primary care services, such as treatment for cold, cough, flu, sprains, sport physicals and more.
The site will have x-ray and diagnostic laboratory services available and the clinic will be staffed by two Certified Medical Assistants, a Radiology Technologist and an Advanced Practice Nurse.
OSF Healthcare Vice President On Demand Janet Rendleman said the facility is designed for patients who want high-quality care in a short amount of time so they can get on with their daily lives.
Grundy County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Christina Van Yperen echoed Rendleman’s sentiment, adding OSF Urgo is a state-of-the-art option for families who have health care at the top of their priority list.
The new facility will be open to patients beginning this fall.
