THREE RIVERS HOSPITAL, AERO METHOW TO HOST URGENT CARE CLINIC OVER HOLIDAY WEEKEND

May 18, 2015

Three Rivers Hospital and Aero Methow Rescue Service are partnering to host an urgent care clinic over Memorial Day weekend.

The clinic will be led by Erica Hickson, ARNP. A Methow Valley resident herself, Hickson helped host the first two urgent care clinics last year, the first during the Carlton Complex Fire.

The clinic will be at the Aero Methow station in Twisp, 1005 state Highway 20, during the following dates and times:

May 22 from 5 to 9 p.m.

May 23 from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

May 24 from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

May 25 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Because the clinic won’t have immediate access to lab or radiology services, Hickson will treat basic injuries or illness such as urinary tract infections, mild dehydration, ear infections, mild coughs, wounds and lacerations not requiring X-ray.

“Any patient with multiple co-morbidities, complex illness or injuries or illnesses requiring labs or X-ray will be sent to the hospital for evaluation,” she said.
