CoxHealth is expanding their services in the Branson area with the addition of a second Urgent Care facility.
The second CoxHealth Branson Urgent Care Clinic opened on Monday, June 10, at the CoxHealth Branson Hills facility on Branson Hills Parkway.
Kevin Agee, Cox Branson Communications Coordinator, explained how having the additional Urgent Care will better serve the community.
"Our community’s amount of engagement with CoxHealth in Branson has allowed us to open this new Urgent Care. The location near the Branson RecPlex, schools and a growing neighborhood will be convenient for many people, whether they are residents or visitors," said Agee.
Open daily from 8:30 a.m. until 8 p.m., CoxHealth Urgent Care will treat a variety of illnesses and injuries.
Said Agee, "People could come to Urgent Care when they have a non-life-threatening illness or injury that should be treated immediately and their primary care provider isn't available. CoxHealth's Care Finder is an online tool that allows patients to enter their symptoms and access information about the best level of care for their situation."
Agee continued, "We’re starting with a good team in Urgent Care, and we look forward to growing even more in the future. The building houses more than 60 employees. That includes all services at CoxHealth Branson Hills – Urgent Care, Primary Care, Internal Medicine, Occupational Medicine, Diabetes and Endocrinology."
Agee also shared some of the benefits of using Urgent Care for your medical needs. Said Agee, "A shorter wait time (compared to the ER) and an opportunity to save your spot in line are just two of the other benefits of Urgent Care. We’re also proud to have many local providers who live in or near Branson, whether they’re working out of the new Urgent Care location or on the main Cox Medical Center Branson campus."
The new CoxHealth Urgent Care is located at 1601 Branson Hills Parkway. The original CoxHealth Urgent Care, located on the main campus of CoxHealth Branson, at 525 Branson Landing Boulevard remains open seven days a week, 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. No appointment is necessary for treatment at either CoxHealth Urgent Care.
