You could have visited two of Door County Medical Center’s newest facilities within days of each other after the hospital showcased its DirectCare Clinic during an open house Wednesday. Located at the corner of State Highway 42/57 and Duluth Avenue (County S), patients will be able to use the DirectCare Clinic to get immediate attention for a number of common issues such as flu symptoms, sore throats, and urinary tract infections. While showing off the lobby area that will greet patients and the exam rooms where they will be treated, Outpatient Services Manager Michelle Johnson says they are excited to welcome everyone to the new space.

While the DirectCare clinic can take care of a lot of things, you will still have to go to the hospital for x-rays, stitches, and blood draws or if your child is under the age of one year. The DirectCare Clinic will officially open on June 26th.
