HealthPartners opens new Quick Clinic in Apple Valley

HealthPartners Apple Valley Clinic will soon offer the community another convenient option for the care of minor health concerns such as strep throat, allergies or urinary tract infections. The Quick Clinic, which opens Sept. 10, will be adjacent to the existing Urgent Care and will fast-track patients with more routine conditions, saving them time and in many cases money.

This will be HealthPartners second Quick Clinic in the Twin Cities metro and is part of an effort to provide patients with the right level of care at the right price. The Quick Clinic will also be a convenient walk-in option for common immunizations including those for the seasonal flu and tetanus.

Beginning Sept. 10, the Quick Clinic, located within HealthPartners Apple Valley Clinic at 15290 Pennock Lane, will be open to the community evenings and weekends, including most holidays.
