HAZEL GREEN, Ala. – Huntsville Hospital Urgent Care has opened a new center in Hazel Green at 14451 US-231 431 N. across from Foodland.
“Whether it’s a minor injury, vaccination, bad cold, or wellness care, it’s important for families to have a quality health care option that is comprehensive and affordable – and in a convenient location,” said Ellis Harris, Vice President of Huntsville Hospital Urgent Care centers. “Urgent care services are a faster, cost-effective option to replace the emergency room for non-life-threatening issues, or waiting to get an appointment with your physician.
The team will be led by Family Nurse Practitioners Maria Rachuonyo and Hope King. Both received a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and have extensive experience in family nursing care.
When an illness or injury can’t wait, Huntsville Hospital Urgent Care’s eight locations offer urgent care, family care, and occupational health services seven days a week with extended hours.
