FRESNO, Calif. -- Around The Clock MD Urgent Care and Occupational Health Centers are gearing up to help fill void created by Occupational Medical Associates. In the entire Fresno area the demand for occupational health has grown. It’s more visible now in south Fresno and north Tulare Counties. With the shutdown of Occupational Medical Associates, the community is eager to find a new medical facility that will provide a broad range of outpatient services including urgent care. A high quality urgent care facility is essential to ensure proper treatment for non-life threatening illnesses or injuries that affect the people who live and work Tri-counties area. Getting an immediate health care appointment can take time, and many people do not even have access to a health care provider. Fortunately, help is around the corner. We understand working from 9 to 5, seven days a week does not leave many hours in the day for you to see a doctor for physicals, injuries or tests.Around The Clock MD Urgent Care and Occupational Health Centers will be opening its doors to the public on early year in Kingsburg, CA before the starts of farming season.
The new occupational medical facility will be staffed by the doctors and support staff from Around The Clock MD Professional Corporation. It will help fill the gap in medical care that has been left by the closing of occupational Medical Associates.
Around The Clock MD Urgent Care will help alleviate some of the burden now being placed on other medical providers in the area by offering immediate and accessible health care to community residents and employees during this crucial time of need. The services provided by this facility will help patients avoid extensive travel time to out-of-area and needless long waits in emergency rooms at Selma and Reedley. No appointment is necessary and wait times will be kept predictably minimal.
Team at Around The Clock MD understands the need for occupational health care in the Fresno, Kings and Tulare counties. Now that Occupational Medical Associates is closed, there is an opportunity to provide high quality occupational medical treatment for people affected by non-life threatening work related illnesses or injuries.
