Valley View to Open New Walk-In Clinic at Providence Medical Plaza
ZZVWL | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- By The Chronicle
On Tuesday, Valley View Health Center will open its sixth health center, a walk-in clinic in Centralia at the east entrance of the Providence Medical Plaza next to the hospital on Cooks Hill Road.
In a collaboration with the Providence Centralia Hospital, the clinic will be a walk-in center, open seven days a week, and is geared toward patients who have been using the Emergency Department of the hospital for their "chronic care needs," a Valley View press release said.
"We have donated them the space, basically for free," said Providence Centralia Hospital spokesman Chris Thomas. "The patients who were using the emergency room as their primary care facility can now see a doctor on a regular basis and have it be the same doctor."
Valley View Health Center opened the doors of its first facility in Chehalis in 2004. Payments are available on a sliding fee scale depending on income. Bilingual services are also available at all locations.
In an ongoing effort to provide access to under-insured or uninsured customers, Valley View is planning to open a medical and dental clinic in Raymond in Pacific County next year, according to the press release.
Center's hours
The Centralia Walk-In Center's hours will be noon to 10 p.m., seven days a week. It will be closed on major holidays.
The facility is on the east side of Providence Centralia Hospital at 1800 Cooks Hill Road, Suite F, and can be reached at 736-3042.
