A MedWest Urgent Care clinic is coming to Sylva this summer.
MedWest Health System is opening an urgent care clinic in the Wal-Mart Plaza shopping center this August. It is planned to replace the Rent-A-Center that is in the location currently.
The clinic will offer less expensive walk-in examinations for people who do not need immediate medical attention and have non-emergency illnesses or injuries.
After the renovations are complete, there will be eight examination rooms, x-ray equipment and full lab services. At this time they are planning to be open Monday through Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
There are no other urgent care clinics in Sylva, or west of Waynesville. MedWest chose the location because it is in a busy area between Western Carolina University and Harris Regional Hospital.
Rent-A-Center is scheduled to relocate by May 1 and shortly after is when the renovations will begin.
