MEDINA, Ohio The University Hospitals Urgent Care location in Medina officially made the move to a new location.

As of Monday, March 25, the former location at 4001 Carrick Drive is now closed and the new location at 716 North Court Street will serve as the UH Urgent Care Medina location.

Our UH Urgent Care delivery model aims to provide the most convenient and valuable care for our patients, explained UH Chief Operating Officer Paul Hinchey, MD, MBA. Having easy access to urgent care locations provide a more affordable option than emergency departments for patients who dont have a primary care physician but need immediate, non-life-threating medical attention. By offering more urgent care locations, we can relieve the burden on emergency departments and reduce wait times so our emergency medicine teams can focus on critical cases.

UH says services on site include x-ray, lab, EKG, medication dispensing and more.

The new location's hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day. Hours may differ on holidays.

"Our primary goal is to reimagine urgent care for Northeast Ohio by removing obstacles and easing access to care while delivering exceptional patient experiences, Dr. Resnick said. The expansion of UH Urgent Care in Northeast Ohio is a significant step towards fulfilling this commitment. By increasing access to urgent care services, we aim to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals and families throughout the region, providing them with the prompt and effective care they deserve in retail locations where they live, shop and work."

UH says the move to the new building will help reduce travel time of Medina residents thanks to the more centrally located facility.
