Edward-Elmhurst opens Walk-In Clinic at Jewel-Osco in Bensenville

Board certified family nurse practitioners and physician assistants provide care for patients 18 months and older at the Clinic.

Edward-Elmhurst Health has opened a Walk-In Clinic in the Jewel-Osco at 1127 S. York Rd. (intersection of York Rd. and Grand Ave.) in Bensenville.

No appointment is necessary for the Clinic, which is open seven days a week, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 7:30 p.m. and Saturday – Sunday, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

“Edward-Elmhurst is offering more locations like this to give consumers healthcare options they’re telling us they want – services that are less expensive and more convenient,” says Pam Davis, System CEO, Edward-Elmhurst Health. “Our Walk-In Clinics are often used after hours and on weekends when physicians’ offices are traditionally closed. The last-minute school physical, immunization or flu that hits on Sunday are also ways patients use our Clinics.”
