Valley Health System held a ribbon cutting ton October 30 for a new Urgent
Care center and Valley Health Winchester Family Practice location at 160
Merchant Street in Rutherford Crossing. Both facilities begin caring for
patients on Wednesday, November 1.
Located in a busy, growing area of Frederick County, the Urgent Care center
will be staffed seven days a week to treat minor illnesses and injuries
on a walk-in basis. There are seven exam rooms, one procedure room, and
on-site lab and X-ray. All Valley Health Urgent Care centers also offer
Occupational Health services, a convenient resource for area employers
for pre-employment physicals, workplace injury management, Department
of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration and executive physicals,
audiometric testing, drug screening and more.
“We look forward to serving residents from this convenient new location
in a popular retail center,” said Chris Rucker, President of Valley
Regional Enterprises and Vice President, Valley Health. “Busy families
are looking for convenient, high-quality after-hours care, and employers
want to contain healthcare costs and help their employees get back to
work quicker. Our accredited Urgent Care centers are an excellent solution.”
The adjoining Valley Health Winchester Family Practice office is its third
location and the second in conjunction with a Valley Health Urgent Care
center. Winchester Family Practice was founded by family medicine physician
Shyama Rosenfeld, MD, in 2002, and joined Valley Health in April of 2016.
“Valley Health operates Urgent Care and Quick Care centers to provide
appropriate, cost-effective walk-in care for minor emergencies,”
explained Jeffrey M. Feit, MD, Valley Health Vice President, Population
Health, and Chief Operating Officer, Valley Physician Enterprise. “We
encourage walk-in patients to have a primary care provider, someone who
helps with their overall health, and with whom they can build a mutually
trusting relationship. Having a respected family medicine practice next
door makes establishing this relationship very convenient.”
