When we offer the right care in the right place, at the right time, every time, we will see improvement in the overall health of the community.”
Offerings
Littleton Urgent Care will offer the most spacious and advanced walk-in facility in the region. Located in the Occupational Health Center at LRH, Littleton Urgent care is an important part of the hospital’s ongoing expansion of the center. Patients will have ready access to medical imaging for x-rays and laboratory services for tests. Patients can also fill their prescriptions at the North Country Pharmacy located on-site.
The new urgent care services will be available at an affordable and competitive price – and will be covered by most health insurance plans. Patients can also feel confident they will receive the highest quality care. Littleton Urgent Care is located close to the hospital’s full-service emergency department. A board-certified emergency medicine physician remains on the property at all times to respond to emergencies.
“If a patient arrives at our urgent care center experiencing a heart attack or other emergency, he or she can be transferred quickly and easily to the emergency department,” said Koren Superchi, RN, MSN, and Vice President of Patient Care Services. “Test results and records from the visit will be shared with the patient’s primary care doctor and made available in the emergency department if the patient needs additional care. We’ll even help patients find a primary care doctor if they don’t already have one.”
“LRH remains committed to serving North Country residents and providing the highest level of personal, patient-focused health care to our communities,” said Nutter.
