Soon some Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) walk-in care centers will look a little different.<\/p>\n
LVHN is beginning a “broader, phased conversion” of many of its ExpressCARE sites to Jefferson Health-branded centers, the health network said in a news release.<\/p>\n
A location in Carbon County was the first to make the switch to a JeffExpress Urgent Care center. The facility at 528 Delaware Avenue in Palmerton was rebranded on November 18.<\/p>\n
Next on the list is LVHN ExpressCARE\u2013Schuylkill in Pottsville, which will convert to JeffExpress Urgent Care on December 2.<\/p>\n
Finally, LVHN ExpressCARE-Airport Beltway in Hazle Township will make the switch on December 9.<\/p>\n
According to LVHN’s website, there are 22 express care sites spread across several counties. It’s not clear if all of them will be rebranded as JeffExpress centers in the future.<\/p>\n
LVHN became part of Jefferson Health last year. A spokesperson said JeffExpress Urgent Care offers a “model of care that is personal, provides convenient hours and shorter wait times.”<\/p>\n
The walk-in sites treat a variety of minor injuries and illnesses and are generally open every day of the year. It’s also possible to book an appointment ahead of time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Soon some Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) walk-in care centers will look a little different.
