Access to same-day care just got a little easier. CoxHealth Urgent Care in Monett is set to expand hours to include weekends starting Saturday. Oct. 5.

The walk-in clinic, located at 102 E. Cleveland Ave., will be open seven days a week and will have new hours of operation, 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Previously, hours were 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.

“It is important that we continue to offer our growing community care when they need it,” said Dr. Tommy Trent, medical director of CoxHealth Urgent Care in Monett. “The time is right and the demand is there to expand hours to include weekends, especially as we get ready to enter the start of influenza season.”

Urgent care is available for non-life threatening illnesses and injuries and it is staffed by highly trained nurse practitioners and support staff. Treatment from CoxHealth Occupational Medicine's physicians for on-the-job injuries is also available at this location through the Virtual Visits online video consultation service.
