"Memorial Care’s new urgent care location allows us to improve access to health care in Jacksonville. We already have a strong primary care presence in Jacksonville, and this new facility will complement that primary care access,” Dowell said. “Our urgent care location will allow patients and our colleagues to receive care for their non-emergent medical needs without making a trip to the emergency department."
The Jacksonville clinic will be Memorial Health’s seventh urgent care location in central Illinois.
