PUTNAM —Day Kimball Healthcare (DKH) is bringing additional healthcare services and patient support to the community by opening a walk-in clinic inside its existing Plainfield Healthcare Center at Lathrop Road in Plainfield. The Plainfield Walk-In Clinic began seeing patients July 22.
A second walk-in clinic is planned for Putnam in the fall.
The walk-in clinic will offer fast, convenient access to high quality healthcare for common, non-life-threatening conditions, such as minor injuries and infections. It will provide a more affordable option for basic medical services than a hospital emergency department.
The clinic will have physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners and will handle low acuity health issues, including on-site immunizations from mumps to chickenpox, travel vaccinations, and flu shots. The walk-in clinic will feature 6 exam rooms with the advantage of adjacent laboratory and imaging services when required.
No appointment is necessary. It will be open from11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on major holidays.
