Lakeside announced today the initiation of urgent care services. Urgent care patients can now enjoy the $55.00 walk-in visit at all clinic locations. This new service, targeted for adults, will allow patients access to medical care without an appointment for many treatments that are typically sought at a primary care office or an emergency department. Lakeside's ability to conduct a level of medical testing, including x-ray and minor trauma treatments, provides a walk-in intermediate level of care not generally available at primary care offices. This level of care also avoids costly emergency room visits for most minor medical conditions.

Lakeside Occupational Medical Centers, Inc., (http://www. lakesideoccmed. com), southwest Florida's most comprehensive resource for occupational health services, announced today the initiation of urgent care services. This new service, targeted for adults, will allow patients access to medical care without an appointment for many treatments that are typically sought at a primary care office or an emergency department. Lakeside's ability to conduct a level of medical testing, including x-ray and minor trauma treatments, provides a walk-in intermediate level of care not generally available at primary care offices. This level of care also avoids costly emergency room visits for most minor medical conditions.
Lakeside clients will be able to direct employees to a Lakeside clinic where they can receive care when normally they would have to miss work and schedule an appointment with their primary care office. This service benefits both the employer and the employee with the fastest, most convenient care while helping the employee make the quickest recovery and return to work.
According to Lakeside CEO, Fred Nussbaum, "Not only will the employer get their employee back to work quickly and enhance employee productivity, but also the employee will have the value-added benefit of the same highest standard of care and quality treatment that is associated with Lakeside's Occupational Medicine Centers. Nussbaum added, "Keeping employees healthy and on the job has always been most important, and Lakeside's customer focus will now make health care access easier and more cost-effective for even more people."
Lakeside's urgent care services that are provided include the diagnosis and treatment of minor/moderate injuries and illnesses; including minor wounds and lacerations, respiratory infections, minor skin conditions, urinary tract infections, minor gastrointestinal conditions, routine immunizations, and minor conditions in the ear, nose, and throat. Lakeside's new urgent care, Quick Check™, strengthens Lakeside's position as a business partner to meet the health care needs of the community. This relationship with the employer can now extend to employees and the families of employees to use Lakeside Urgent Care services.
