Winchester Hospital Opens Urgent Care Center in Woburn

Winchester Hospital recently opened a brand new Urgent Care Center located on the first floor of Baldwin Park II, 7 Alfred St. in Woburn.

Urgent Care Woburn will treat patients with non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries – from ear infections to broken bones and everything in between. The facility will have specialty-trained physicians and nurses and on-site X-ray and laboratory services.

.“Urgent care is a new player in the health care field,” said Dr. Teriggi Ciccone, medical director of Winchester Hospital’s Urgent Care. “The triple aim of health care is to deliver high quality care at a lower cost with a higher level of satisfaction. Urgent care is an important tool in accomplishing that goal.”

Winchester Hospital’s Urgent Care Center in Woburn will join the long-standing urgent care facility in Wilmington located at the Family Medical Center, 500 Salem St.

The recently opened Woburn site will give area residents another option to receive care.

“There will always be a doctor on site that can deliver high quality care,” Dr. Ciccone said. “Patients don’t need to go to the Emergency Room to receive their care. We can handle a lot of the same services at an ER, but we can do it at a lower cost.”

Services handled by the Walk-In Urgent Care Center will include: Wound care, suture lacerations, orthopedic care, manage and splint fractures/sprains, provide IV fluids and medications, basic upper respiratory infection and other common illnesses (cough, sore throat, rashes and urinary tract infections).

The hours for the Urgent Care in Woburn will be noon to 8 p.m.
