John Lappa\/Sudbury Star\/Postmedia Network Photo by John Lappa \/John Lappa\/Sudbury Star<\/p>\n<p>The clinic provides care for minor injuries and infections, respiratory symptoms, prescription\u00a0renewals\u00a0and general assessments\u00a0and also\u00a0offers travel-related medical visits, driver\u2019s physicals, and a range of other assessments for both individuals and employers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA portion of ER visits in Sudbury are for non-urgent issues that can be safely managed in a properly equipped walk-in clinic,\u201d Reich said. \u201cBy offering\u00a0timely, same-day access, our goal is to\u00a0divert non-emergency patients away from the ER\u00a0and ensure they receive\u00a0appropriate care\u00a0in the right setting. Being only steps away from on-site imaging and having lab access nearby allows us to fully manage many cases that would otherwise end up in the emergency department.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement 4<\/p>\n<p>This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n<p>Article content<\/p>\n<p>Initial hours for the clinic are 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. No appointments are\u00a0required\u00a0and on-site parking is available at the location.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are a completely new management team and a newly modernized clinic,\u201d Reich added.\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019ve\u00a0rebuilt the operation from the ground up, with a fully computerized system, streamlined patient flow and expanded access to local diagnostics. Our goal is to bring a fresh, modern, community-focused walk-in experience to the 4 Corners area.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The location is ideal,\u00a0he\u00a0explained, because it sits at a central,\u00a0highly accessible\u00a0hub for the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe building gives us\u00a0direct access to imaging on the main floor and\u00a0lab services immediately behind the clinic, which significantly improves patient flow and diagnostic turnaround times,\u201d Reich said. \u201cThe location also serves a large population of students, downtown workers and residents who currently face long waits or lack access to a family physician. In short,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0a place where need and convenience meet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-async=\"\">For more information, visit\u00a0<a data-evt-val=\"{\" control_fields=\"\" link=\"\" data-evt-typ=\"click\" href=\"http:\/\/4cornersclinic.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">4cornersclinic.com<\/a>\u00a0or visit\u00a0<a data-evt-val=\"{\" control_fields=\"\" link=\"\" data-evt-typ=\"click\" href=\"mailto:cornersclinic@gmail.com\">cornersclinic@gmail.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-async=\"\"><a data-evt-val=\"{\" control_fields=\"\" link=\"\" data-evt-typ=\"click\" href=\"mailto:bleeson@postmedia.com\">bleeson@postmedia.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Article content<\/p>\n<p>Share this article in your social network<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Breadcrumb Trail Links NewsLocal News New clinic open at 2009 Long Lake Rd., with expanded hours to come&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":154595,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[163,521,85,46],"class_list":{"0":"post-154594","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-healthcare","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-healthcare","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-israel"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=154594"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154594\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/154595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=154594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=154594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=154594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
