Phelps Health has opened a new walk-in clinic in Rolla

Phelps Health has opened a new walk-in clinic in Rolla to serve patients in south-central Missouri. The clinic opened Monday and is located at 603 South Bishop Avenue, across from Walmart in Rolla. It is open from 8 a-m to 8 p-m Mondays through Fridays and 8 a-m to 6 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. No appointments are necessary. The Rolla clinic is similar to Immediate Care Waynesville, which opened in late 2017 at the Waynesville Medical Plaza. Services at the new Rolla location are the same as those offered at Immediate Care Waynesville. Booth adults and children can be seen for allergies and coughing, bug bites and stings, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, ear infections, flu-like symptoms, headaches, sinus infections, sore throat, strep throat, sprains, strains, urinary tract or bladder infections, and more. More than 700 patients are expected to be seen per month at Immediate Care Rolla. Jeffery Kerr, DO, medical director for Phelps Health’s Immediate Care services, noted that patients are seen at Immediate Care Waynesville from as far as Cuba, Missouri, who are looking for a clinic that will see them immediately, seven days a week.
