An Urgent Service

I had a problem late last week.

Didn’t know it, but I had a pressure wound on the bottom of my foot. Understand, I’ve been diabetic since early adulthood and I am very conscious of my blood sugars on an hourly basis. And diabetics must keep an eye on their feet.

My wife looked at the wound and said we needed to do something about it.

That’s when I learned about Fairfield Memorial Hospital’s Urgent Care. What a blessing it was to us.

It was 7 o’clock. We went to the beautiful FMH Medical Arts Complex where we were almost immediately cared for.

In a nutshell, I will live.

But that is not the point.

I once was in the running for a job in northern Texas, but my wife put her foot down because there wasn’t a hospital within 50 miles. Only helicopter service.

She was well aware of what is available here….and never blinked at our decision to move back home. That’s because we know of the services provided by Fairfield Memorial. One of those positives is---Urgent Care.

The Urgent Care is staffed by a team of mid-level providers---in other words---Physician Assistants who can prescribe medicine and make important decisions when you need them.

In my case, I was given a tetanus shot and prescribed an antibiotic.   

I was in and out in 20 minutes.

And I made an appointment for later this week with my primary health care provider.

Utilize this wonderful service…it is a wonderful asset to the community..
