Laurel Health’s Saturday clinic moves to Mansfield this August

Mansfield, Pa. — Laurel Health is retooling its Saturday clinic hours to better meet patient demand.

In response to patient volumes and to better centralize weekend access across the system’s entire footprint, the Saturday clinic will move from Wellsboro to Mansfield this August.

Beginning August 3, Laurel Health will offer walk-in care for patients of all ages on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Mansfield Laurel Health Center, located at 416 S. Main St.

Laurel Health’s weekend clinic is designed to address acute health issues presenting outside standard hours of operation. It assures patients can be seen and treated quickly for non-emergencies that are still time-sensitive without taking an unnecessary trip to the ER. The walk-in clinic is open to everyone. No appointment is needed to utilize any of Laurel Health’s walk-in services, including the Saturday walk-in clinic in Mansfield.

Walk-in care is designed to treat health issues that are pressing but not life-threatening emergencies, such as minor cuts or burns, sprains, rashes, urinary tract infections (UTIs), tick and insect bites, pink eye, earaches, and illnesses like colds, strep throat, COVID-19, or flu. Laurel Health’s walk-in care service is not intended for routine wellness care or emergency care. Anyone who may be experiencing a medical emergency should always call 911 or go to the nearest hospital.

The Wellsboro Laurel Health Center will continue to offer weekday walk-in care, primary care, mental health services, and chiropractic care, but will no longer be open on Saturdays.

All Laurel Health Center offices will also continue to offer same-day visits as well as early morning, late afternoon, or evening appointments throughout the week to better accommodate patient schedules.

For more information about the Laurel Health Centers’ hours of operation or walk-in care services, call 1-833-LAURELHC (1-833-528-7354) or visit laurelhc.org .
