Open to everyone, medical director Dr. Dennis Reich said the goal is fill gaps in local medical services by supporting \u2018those without primary care, to reduce strain on the emergency department, and to offer timely access for non-urgent concerns\u2019<\/p>\n

A team of Sudbury health-care providers has opened a new walk-in medical clinic at the Four Corners in the city\u2019s South End.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s located at the Medical Arts building at 2009 Long Lake Rd., next to the Shopper’s Drug Mart.<\/p>\n

“Designed to improve access to timely care, the new clinic offers same-day, no-appointment-needed medical services supported by a fully computerized workflow system that streamlines registration, documentation, and patient follow-up,” said a news release from 4 Corners Walk-In Clinic.<\/p>\n

The new 4-Corners Clinic is advertised on a website<\/a> that invites area residents to drop by for treatment of any number of illnesses or ailments people might have.<\/p>\n

The clinic provides care for minor injuries and infections, respiratory symptoms, prescription renewals, and general assessments, said the release. In addition, 4 Corners Clinic offers travel-related medical visits, driver\u2019s physicals, and a range of other assessments for both individuals and employers, said the release.<\/p>\n

While there was a previous walk-in, in the same building, this is an all-new practice.<\/p>\n

“We are a completely new management team and a newly modernized clinic,\u201d said medical director Dr. Dennis Reich in an email to Sudbury.com. \u201cThis isn\u2019t a rebrand of the previous practice. Our goal is to bring a fresh, modern, community-focused walk-in experience to the Four Corners area.<\/p>\n

“Our clinic is open to everyone. We focus on people who do not have a family physician, patients who cannot get timely appointments, students, travelers, workers in the downtown core, and anyone needing same-day non-urgent care. The aim is to be a dependable access point for the entire community,” said Reich.<\/p>\n

Initially, the clinic will open with hours from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays, with expanded hours \u2014 including evenings and additional days \u2014 beginning in the New Year, said the release.<\/p>\n

“We plan to expand to full daytime hours in the new year. Our goal is to provide broad, reliable access throughout the day as our team grows,” said Reich.<\/p>\n

Reich said part of the reason for the new facility is a response to the shortage of frontline care providers and to reduce non-urgent wait times at the hospital emergency room.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re hearing the same concerns every day: people waiting months \u2014 sometimes four to five months \u2014 for non-urgent issues, and many still without a family physician at all. We want to help fill that gap,\u201d Reich said. \u201cOur clinic is designed to support those without primary care, to reduce strain on the emergency department, and to offer timely access for non-urgent concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the medical arts building next door to Shopper’s is a good venue.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re also very fortunate to be located steps away from onsite imaging and pharmacy on the main floor and lab services just behind the building, which creates a highly efficient care experience for patients,” said Reich.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
