POULSBO
On Monday morning, The Doctors Clinic will open a new urgent-care facility at its Poulsbo clinic.
The facility is appropriate for people suffering from conditions that are not life-threatening, like cuts, coughs, sore throats or sprained ankles.
Five physicians who work at the clinic will rotate into the new PromptCare facility.
X-ray and laboratory services also are available on-site.
The Poulsbo PromptCare is the second for The Doctors Clinic. It opened its first in 1995 on Wheaton Way near Bremerton.
No appointments are necessary, and the hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays and 8:30 a.m. to noon Saturdays.
“Having a PromptCare in Poulsbo will make it easier for those in the north end of the county experiencing unpredictable times of accident and illness,” said Dr. Brian Wicks, president of The Doctors Clinic.
The Doctors Clinic began in 1949 in downtown Bremerton, and has since expanded to include about 75 physicians in nine clinical locations.
Its Poulsbo clinic and new PromptCare is at 19245 Seventh Ave., at the corner of Seventh and Iverson Road.
