Walk-In Hours Announced at Richmond Area Health Center

Richmond- Richmond Area Health Center is pleased to announce that, effective May 1, walk-in hours will be available to current Richmond Area Health Center patients with acute medical problems. Walk-in hours will be held from 7 to 8 AM on Monday and Thursday mornings. Linda Hermans, MD, will be available at these times to see patients.

Walk-in visits are for acute medical needs only. Examples of acute needs are:

  • ear pain
  • sore throat
  • cough
  • cold
  • high temperature
  • sudden appearance of a rash

Visits will be limited to one problem per patient. Medical conditions involving multiple or ongoing symptoms should be scheduled for a regular office visit.
