Mercy-GoHealth Urgent Care reopened its center in Des Peres, Missouri, 13275 Manchester Road, with a ribbon cutting and neighborhood block party. The event included fun for the whole family with face painting, free ice cream from Clementine’s, and a special appearance by Fredbird.
“We’re looking forward to reconnecting with our neighbors in Des Peres,” said Dr. Jaime Zengotita, medical director of Mercy-GoHealth. “Reopening this center gives folks in and around Des Peres quick and easy access to care that is connected to Mercy’s expansive services. We are thrilled to continue caring for this wonderful community.”
Mercy-GoHealth temporarily closed the location during the COVID-19 pandemic. It reopened today to provide on-demand care to patients near where they live, work and play.
“We have seen demand for convenient and affordable health care options increase in Des Peres, as residents were traveling outside their immediate community to our other locations,” said Sarah Coy, regional president of Mercy-GoHealth. “We worked tirelessly to reopen this center to provide neighbors with a seamless experience and timely care and are excited to reopen our doors to the Des Peres community.”
Mercy-GoHealth treats patients ages 6 months and older for common non-life-threatening health concerns, including upper respiratory infections, minor cuts, ear infections, fractures, sprains, strains and more. The Des Peres center will also offer onsite X-rays, diagnostic testing, flu vaccines, lab draws and sports physicals for kids to help families get ready for the fall sports season.
Patients can walk in any Mercy-GoHealth Urgent Care without an appointment or save a spot online by pre-registering. The Des Peres location is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday.
