NEWPORT — After three weeks of operation inside a mobile medicine van, the walk-in urgent care clinic at Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital in Newport has reopened in a longer-term location next to the Center for Health Education, 740 S.W. Ninth St.
To prepare for the next phase of the new hospital construction project, the modular building had to be moved from its previous location. This process required three weeks to disassemble, move and reassemble the unit, and to connect utility and technology services. The clinic will remain in this new location at least until after the new hospital project is complete, in early 2020.
The clinic is the only urgent care between Yachats and Newport and is open 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and weekends from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The phone number for the clinic remains the same, 541-574-4860.
