Erlanger officials have opened the region’s eighth Erlanger Express Care in the Collegedale-Ooltewah area at White Oak Crossing.
Erlanger’s newest walk-in medical care center will be located at 5953 Elementary Way, off Lee Highway in Ooltewah.
Developed in partnership with Noon Development, the Collegedale-Ooltewah based Express Care will be one of five Erlanger urgent care centers in Hamilton County.
“Erlanger’s eighth Express Care facility will offer the Ooltewah community more access to Erlanger’s health care services closer to home,” says Erlanger President and CEO Dr. William Jackson. “These urgent care facilities throughout the region aim to improve continuity of care for current and new Erlanger patients, and this Ooltewah location will help accomplish this effort.”
Erlanger Express Care facilities are open seven days a week, offering extended evening and weekend hours. A team of health care professionals provide care for nonlife-threatening illnesses, injuries and other health care needs from cuts and colds to fractures, breaks and sprains. Erlanger Express Care offers X-rays and prescription services for adults and children over the age of two. No appointments are needed. The clinics also offer telehealth visits, allowing patients to receive care from a provider via secure videoconferencing.
Erlanger Express Care clinics are the only walk-in urgent care clinics in the area to achieve accreditation through the Urgent Care Association, having met all of the UCA’s established standards and criteria for quality of patient care, safety and scope of services. This accreditation is the highest level of distinction for urgent care centers, with only 13% of urgent care clinics in the United States meeting the UCA’s standards.
