Cookeville Regional Urgent Care will stay open later to serve the community when “uh-ohs” happen after 7 p.m. The Urgent Care located on N. Cedar Avenue in Cookeville across from the CRMC Emergency Room is now open 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Sunday and will also offer imaging services at the Imaging Center at the hospital’s main campus.
“We have heard the community and their need for urgent care to be open later in the evenings. Families need a place to go and be seen for small and minor emergencies or for a child who spikes a fever at 8:30 p.m. We are thrilled to extend these hours and help keep our community healthy. We will also offer imaging, like X-rays, etc. It is not currently on-site at Urgent Care. Still, families can go across the street, entering through the Emergency Room (ER), and from there, they will bypass the ER, and our imaging staff will take care of them,” said Buffy Key, CEO of Cookeville Regional Medical Center.
Cookeville Regional Urgent Care is unique because it can securely connect the patient’s medical records to our medical center. It is all the same system.
“When a patient comes to our Urgent Care, we can see their information from previous hospital visits,” said Jessica Birdwell, manager at Cookeville Regional Urgent Care. “It is convenient to be close to the medical center and have access to their services. We are excited to offer imaging and extend hours for our patients.”
