Farmington¾

 

Franklin Health Pediatrics is pleased to announce that its medical staff will be providing walk-in urgent care services for patients starting March 3 from 7:45−8:45 a.m., Monday−Friday.

 

This new service is for patients of Franklin Health Pediatrics who have acute, short-term illnesses or injuries that need prompt attention, but aren’t life threatening. These may include earaches, sore throats, coughs, and sprains, among others. Patients with chronic or long-standing conditions should still call to schedule an appointment as the walk-in clinic is for acute issues only.

 

Anyone uncertain about the severity of a problem, is always welcome to call the practice at 778-0482. Even when the office is closed, there is always a provider on call for consultation.

 

Nicole Donahue, CPNP, Franklin Health Pediatrics’ newest provider, will be the primary clinician staffing the walk-in clinic. Donahue is a nurse practitioner who received her master’s degree in pediatric nurse practitioner studies from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. Before that she served as a pediatric charge nurse at the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital at Maine Medical Center.
