A new walk-in health clinic is coming to downtown Newport. Northern Express Care-Newport will occupy the former UPS store on Main Street and is expected to open this summer, North Country Hospital announced.
The clinic will offer urgent non-emergency care on a walk-in basis, with no appointment needed. Services will cover minor illnesses and injuries such as sprains, bumps, bruises, allergies and respiratory infections, as well as vaccinations. Staff will also help connect patients with a regular primary care provider.
Northern Express Care already operates in St. Johnsbury and Lyndonville. The Newport location will be open evenings and Saturdays, according to Northern Counties Health Care Chief Strategy Officer Chris Towne.
“Northern Express Care, Newport is an exciting opportunity for our community,” said Brian Nall, Chief Executive Officer of North Country Hospital. “People will have expanded access to immediate care, with no appointment needed, regardless of their ability to pay. This will certainly help meet a need we are seeing in our service area.”
The two organizations previously partnered to open the Orleans Dental Center in 2016.
