Respiratory illnesses are currently circulating in our community. We want to make sure parents can get their child the care they need as soon as possible.

For most non-emergency symptoms, children can be seen at our walk-in clinic on weekdays from 8-10 a.m. and 1-3 p.m. Same-day appointments may also be available based on your child’s provider availability.

If your child has not yet received a flu vaccine, it is still recommended. The flu shot helps reduce the risk of severe illness and complications.

If you are unsure what type of care your child needs, please call us at (785) 842-4477. Our team is here to help.
