On Tuesday, June 20th from 1-4 p.m., a ribbon-cutting ceremony and health fair event will be held to celebrate our new clinic. COVID and flu vaccines will be available, and the first 50 attendees will receive a free tamale. In addition to refreshments and raffle prizes, attendees can tour the facility and meet the staff. OCH Express Clinic is located at 1010 Webber Street, The Dalles, Oregon, across the parking lot from OCH’s main clinic.
“We hear from patients and the community that walk-ins and same-day care are getting more expensive and difficult to find. That’s why we are so excited to be launching OCH Express Clinic. As well as helping families in need of immediate medical care, it also saves time and money by avoiding expensive emergency room visits for minor injuries, illnesses, and other health needs. OCH Express Clinic will also provide fast access to preventative health care like cancer screenings to keep people healthy,” says Max Janasik, Chief Executive Officer of OCH.
The Express Clinic will initially be open five days a week with the potential to expand days and hours based on patient demand. It will be staffed by a bilingual team of providers, nurses, and medical assistants. Online appointments and same-day scheduling will be available starting in mid-July. The Express Clinic offers a range of services including:
Urgent care and small procedures
Pediatric care
Basic vision exams
Immunizations
Testing for diabetes, flu, COVID, strep, and other conditions
Access to substance use support and medications
Diabetes and chronic disease management
Insurance enrollment and financial aid applications
Same-day and walk-in appointments
The local community is invited to join celebrating OHC’s Express Clinic at the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, June 20th, from 1-4 p.m. For more information about the Express Clinic and the ribbon-cutting, visit onecommunityhealth.org/news/express-clinic-grand-opening.
