Hospital to open urgent care facility

Moab Regional Hospital will open Moab Regional Urgent Care on Friday, Sept. 1.

Urgent Care will provide residents and visitors with after-hours and weekend medical care for non-emergency health-care needs, such as strep throat, urinary tract infections, minor bone fractures, lacerations and other non-life threatening illnesses.

It will operate out of Moab Regional Health Center’s Suite B, which is located in the I.W. Allen Medical Plaza of Moab Regional Hospital. Patients will be seen on a walk-in, first-come-first-served basis. Hours of operation will be 4 to 10 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays; 1 to 10 p.m. on Saturdays; and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Hours may differ on holidays, and they are subject to change throughout the year.

Urgent Care services do not replace routine medical care services such as an annual exam or physical with a primary care provider. Patients with emergent medical conditions or who are experiencing life-threatening injuries should dial 911 or proceed to the Emergency Room at Moab Regional Hospital.
