Thundermist Opening "Quick Care" Clinic In Woonsocket Monday

On Monday, July 23, is opening a “Quick Care” treatment center at its flagship health center in Woonsocket, 450 Clinton St.

Quick Care will be open to the public for the treatment of common illnesses and injuries—no appointment needed. Walk-in patients are diagnosed and treated by certified Nurse Practitioners, who will also prescribe medication, if necessary; narcotics cannot be prescribed. Quick Care patients will have the option of becoming primary care patients of Thundermist if they wish.

You do NOT need to be a patient of Thundermist to use Quick Care services, which will operate extended hours. Quick Care is open 7 days a week/365 days a year. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday – 10:00 a.m. – 9:30 p.m; Sat, Sun, Holidays – 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

For anyone with health insurance seeking treatment at Quick Care, the co-pay will be similar to a regularly scheduled doctor visit, not an emergency room visit. For those without health insurance, a low, flat rate will be available. In some cases, HMO patients will be charged an uninsured flat rate; a receptionist can discuss a possible refund. No one will be turned away because of inability to pay.

Quick Care will provide treatment for issues, such as - deer tick bites and removal, minor injuries, cuts, fevers, illnesses such as ear and/or sinus infections, allergies, gastro-enteritis, skin rashes, etc… Sports or camp physicals are also available at Quick Care. Quick Care has already opened at Thundermist sites in West Warwick and South County.
