Family Care Clinic to close Jan. 31

WINFIELD – Northwest Medical Center has announced it will close the Northwest Family Care Clinic in Winfield effective Friday, Jan. 31.
The decision comes roughly a year-and-a-half after the City of Winfield took ownership of the local hospital through the Winfield Healthcare Authority, which purchased the hospital from Curae Health.
The after-hours clinic at 125 Henry Lane in Winfield opened in 2015 and  was built off of Interstate 22’s Exit 30. Med360 Health UrgentCare is located on the same exit, across Highway 129.
The facility was intended to serve two primary purposes—provide medical treatment for persons needing assistance outside regular business hours while also lessening the patient load and operational expense at Northwest’s emergency room at its main location.
