Patients should park in the front parking lot and enter through the main front lobby for easy access to our new site. In our Rural Health Clinic, we are dedicated to providing care for acute and primary health needs of our community. This may include urgent problems such as injuries, fever, ear, nose and throat complaints, cough, or flu symptoms. We provide school, work, and DOT physicals. We can become your primary healthcare provider and manage your healthcare needs, or we can provide care when you cannot see your regular medical provider.

Patient Friendly Hours

Our current hours of service are from 9am to 6:30pm every day of the week (Excluding Thanksgiving & Christmas). We are a “walk in clinic”. Some patients find it beneficial to call ahead to see what the general wait times are or whether their primary Nurse Practitioner is in the office that day.

Nurse Practitioners Provide Excellent Patient Care

Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are Advanced Practice Nurses who have received advanced training and are licensed by the state of Illinois to provide high quality healthcare services for a wide range of problems. Advanced Practice Nurses take a unique approach to healthcare, stressing both care and cure, focusing on health promotion, disease prevention, as well as health education and counseling.

Reasonable Fees

Our Nurse Practitioners understand the expense of healthcare and work to minimize costs as much as possible. Our fees are similar to most general practitioners’. We are excited to be building our practice and are accepting new patients. We take most insurance plans, as well as Illinois Health Connect, Illinois Public Aid and Medicare. Salem Township Hospital is willing to assist our uninsured patients by arranging convenient payment plans when necessary.
