With a new location that opened April 10 at 920 Lake George Road in Queensbury, medical care and diagnostic services are now available seven days a week to patients in the North Country, said Beth Pagan, WellNow\u2019s director of market operations for eastern New York.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWellNow provides a wide array of diagnostics, including X-rays, EKGs, complete metabolic panels, and much more,\u201d said Pagan.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>There are nearly 80 WellNow locations in the state and 200 in the country offering urgent, not emergency, care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur centers offer more services than the average primary care physician so that patients can be treated right away without having to go to a traditional emergency room, where they might face long wait times and an expensive bill,\u201d she said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span>While WellNow can take an X-ray and suture an injury, for example, MRIs and CT scans are not offered, so some conditions would require travel to the nearest hospital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that concerns about the costs of treatment shouldn\u2019t stand in the way of quality healthcare,\u201d Pagan said. \u201cSo we work with all insurance plans and also offer patients the option to pay their bill in installments with no interest or processing fees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To ensure that patients always have access to care, most WellNow locations are open seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., far exceeding the hours at primary care physician\u2019s office. These are the hours in the new Queensbury location, which was selected for its easy proximity to businesses, shopping and transportation, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur patients can get walk-in service close to where they live and work,\u201d said Pagan. \u201cWhen someone isn\u2019t feeling well and needs immediate attention, the last thing they want to do is drive a long distance for care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Urgent care centers provide a vital service to the community, particularly in areas where primary care providers are booked solid or are non-existent, she said. In effect, WellNow centers bridge the gap between primary care and emergency care, according to Pagan<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>WellNow offers treatment for non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses, such as flu, COVID-19 and RSV, plus occupational medicine services. These include Worker\u2019s Compensation assistance, pre-employment physicals, drug and alcohol testing, said Pagan.<\/p>\n<p>Patients can also reach a WellNow provider 24\/7 by using the Virtual Care platform on their cellphones or personal computers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA patient can speak with a provider anytime, anywhere,\u201d Pagan said .<\/p>\n<p>WellNow was established in 2012 as an independent healthcare practice and accepts many insurances, Medicare and Medicaid.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWellNow\u2019s Queensbury center is not affiliated with any local health systems,\u201d said Pagan. \u201cHowever, we do partner with St. Peter\u2019s Health Partners at several other locations in the Capital Region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More information about locations and services can be found at www.WellNow.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Susan Elise Campbell WellNow Urgent Care is one of the fastest-growing providers of urgent medical care, telehealth and occupational medicine services in the United States.
