Edward-Elmhurst Health has opened a walk-in clinic in the Jewel-Osco, 1127 S. York Road, (intersection of York Road and Grand Avenue) in Bensenville.

“Edward-Elmhurst is offering more locations like this to give consumers healthcare options they’re telling us they want – services that are less expensive and more convenient,” says Pam Davis, System CEO, Edward-Elmhurst Health. “Our Walk-In Clinics are often used after hours and on weekends when physicians’ offices are traditionally closed. The last-minute school physical, immunization or flu that hits on Sunday are also ways patients use our Clinics.”

Board certified family nurse practitioners and physician assistants provide care for patients 18 months and older at the clinic, which offers the following services:

• Exams/treatment for minor illnesses: Sinus infections, bronchitis, coughs, ear infections, flu, sore throat, upper respiratory infections, bladder infections, pink eye, allergies and more.
• Exams/treatment for skin conditions such as rashes, minor skin infections,and acne;
• Physicals for school, sports, camp;
• Vaccinations for flu, hepatitis B, Tdap, meningitis and more;
• Screenings for TB skin tests.

The clinic accepts most major health insurance plans and also has self-pay options.

No appointment is necessary for the Clinic, which is open seven days a week, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 7:30 p.m. and Saturday – Sunday, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Edward-Elmhurst Health has walk-In clinics at nine other locations throughout the west and southwest suburbs, including Aurora, Naperville, Plainfield, River Forest, Romeoville, Westmont, Woodridge and Yorkville.
