UTICA, N.Y. — Primary Urgent Care, a walk-in health clinic, will start seeing patients on July 5 at 1908 Genesee St. in Utica.
The clinic’s website describes Primary Urgent Care as “an alternative to the emergency room and your family doctor for minor injuries, ailments, flu shots and physicals.”
The office of Utica Mayor Robert Palmieri, in a news release Thursday, called the facility the area’s “only independently owned urgent-care clinic” that will treat non-life threatening injuries and illnesses “at a fraction of the wait time of an emergency room.”
Primary Urgent Care is open seven days a week, and requires no appointment. Equipped with X-ray and laboratory equipment, it can treat “common” ailments that include colds, cough, and flu, along with sports injuries. The clinic also provides preventive care, testing, and physicals.
“We’re excited to bring more jobs to the Utica area, as well as, a newly renovated urgent-care clinic that provides great customer service and quality care from a seasoned staff,” Jeremy Enck, CEO of Primary Urgent Care, said in Palmieri’s news release.
“It is great to see new investment and development in our community, especially when that investment will enhance the health and overall quality of life for our residents,” Palmieri said.
