SHERIDAN – The team at SameDay Health & Imaging will begin seeing patients Tuesday, Dec. 3, with expanded hours providing healthcare for the community seven days a week.
The new clinic, located at 1470 Sugarland Drive, Suite 1, will be open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. SameDay Health & Imaging includes an imaging center, laboratory draw stations and same-day care in one of Sheridan’s busiest hubs.
The expanded access and convenience for the community is made possible by a collaboration between multiple departments at Sheridan Memorial Hospital coming together to create the new clinic. The team of providers at SameDay Health & Imaging will include Dr. Christopher Prior, who has spent five years with the SMH Primary Care/Internal Medicine Clinics, and Dr. David Nickerson, who has led the Urgent Care Clinic at SMH for six years. The two physicians will be joined by Wyatt Gardner, MSPA, PA-C, Claire Buckingham, DNP, FNP-C, the entire team from the SMH Urgent Care Clinic and new staff who have joined the team to expand hours and access.
“We know accidents, illness and other healthcare needs don’t happen on a schedule or during a regular work week,” said Mike McCafferty, CEO of Sheridan Memorial Hospital. “SameDay Health & Imaging ensures individuals in our community have access to excellent, patient-centered care when they need it.”
As the team at Sheridan Memorial Hospital’s Urgent Care Clinic prepare for the move to the new clinic on Sugarland Drive, hours at the current Urgent Care Clinic will be limited beginning next week. The Urgent Care Clinic located at 1435 Burton Street will close at 2 p.m. Monday, Nov. 25, and services will resume at the new SameDay Health & Imaging Clinic on Dec. 3 at 6:30 a.m.
Between Nov. 25 and Dec. 3, Sheridan Memorial Hospital’s Primary Care and Internal Medicine Clinics will have additional same-day appointments available to ensure access to care remains in place prior to SameDay Health & Imaging opening.
To celebrate the opening of SameDay Health & Imaging, the new clinic will host an open house Monday, Dec. 2 from 5:30-7 p.m. at 1470 Sugarland Drive, Suite 1. The event will include a ribbon cutting with the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce, refreshments and tours.
