BROCKPORT, NY — WellNow Urgent Care, one of the country’s fastest-growing urgent care providers, announced today that it will open the doors to its newest center in Brockport on Wednesday, April 14, 2021. Located at 6555 4th Section Road, Brockport, NY 14420, the new facility offers COVID-19 testing, timely treatment for non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses, and occupational medicine services seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. with no appointment needed.

“We’re pleased to be making care even more convenient for residents and businesses alike in the Brockport community,” said John Radford, M.D., President at WellNow Urgent Care. “Injuries and illnesses can happen at the most inconvenient times, including evenings and weekends, and we want our patients to get the care they need to get back to their lives within 45 minutes, on average, instead of waiting in an emergency room for hours or delaying care until Monday morning.”

Urgent care centers are an increasingly important part of the U.S. healthcare marketplace, providing patients with much-needed access to quality care with shorter wait times, walk-in and same day care options, and lower costs than the traditional emergency room. The new center in Brockport will provide timely service for ailments such as sprains, burns, colds and allergies while also providing on-site X-rays, lab testing and physicals. Rapid COVID-19 testing is also available with no appointment necessary. Patients can walk in or schedule a visit online.

Urgent care services are treated on a walk-in basis, or patients may also visit WellNow.com to check in online and view up-to-date wait times. Patients can also connect with a WellNow provider 24 hours a day, seven days a week, using the company’s telehealth platform. WellNow accepts most insurance, including Medicare, Medicaid, Fidelis and Veterans Affairs TriWest. A full list of services can be found online at WellNow.com and additional information about COVID-19, including testing cost and insurance coverage, can be found at Covid-19.

WellNow is pleased to partner with local employers for a wide range of occupational medicine services, including DOT/19A physicals, Workers’ Compensation assistance, respirator fit exams, audiometry and more. Area businesses and self-insured employers from a range of industries – including manufacturing, warehousing, retail, nursing homes, vocational colleges, bakeries and more – can partner with WellNow to develop a custom occupational medicine program to fit their individual needs.

The new center in Brockport is WellNow’s sixth location in the Greater Rochester area. Other nearby centers include Fairport, Irondequoit and Webster. A full list of WellNow centers can be found at locations.
