St. John's adds Branson urgent care

St. John's began offering urgent care services April 15 at a second location in Branson, according to a news release. The new urgent care office, located in the medical building at 1065 Highway 248, is called St. John's Urgent Care-Branson-248. Hours of operation are 10 a.m.-10 p.m. seven days a week.

St. John's first urgent care services in Branson began three years ago at 1940 Highway 165. That location is now referred to as St. John's Urgent Care-Branson-Corporate View. Hours of operation at that location are 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

St. John's new urgent care location employs five staff members. St. John's Branson-area physicians rotate though the clinic to provide care.

"The opening of the new urgent care facility at our 248 location adds to the internal medicine and cancer/hematology services currently available. This gives St. John's Clinic an opportunity to expand the services offered to the residents of Branson," said St. John's Clinic Vice President Jason Markham.
