OSF OnCall is re-opening its urgent care clinic on Sheridan Road in Peoria to meet the need for convenient care. The walk-in clinic at 3626 N Sheridan Road was open for six months before closing in November of 2021 due to staffing challenges during the COVID 19 pandemic.

During the closure the OSF OnCall location on Sheridan Road was used as a training site with the intent to re-open once staffing became more consistent.   

The clinic will be staffed by experienced care guides, a radiology technologist and an advanced practice provider. Providers deliver basic urgent care services such as treatment for colds, cough, flu, sprains, minor lacerations, urinary tract and upper respiratory infections among other minor ailments and conditions. OSF OnCall Urgent Care also provides school, sports, and employment physicals.

“In addition to offering urgent care services and X-ray, we have multiple prescription medications available to dispense onsite to prevent patients from making an additional stop at the pharmacy,” says Director of On Demand Operations, Nichole Esterdahl. “We are excited to re-open the doors to provide community members in the area with high-quality, convenient and affordable healthcare.”

OSF OnCall Urgent Care opened October 1, with a soft launch, providing health assessments and treatment Mondays-Wednesdays from 8 a.m.-8:00 p.m. Operations will eventually expand to seven days a week, including holidays. There are seven additional OSF OnCall Urgent Care locations in the area including East Peoria, Washington, Morton, Pekin, and three additional Peoria locations.

Walk-ins are welcome. Reservations or options to get in line are available at osfoncall.org.

]]>OSF OnCall, the digital health arm of OSF HealthCare, blessed  a new convenient urgent care clinic that will open July 29 in Sycamore, Illinois.

]]>Minor illnesses and injuries can occur at some of the most inconvenient times. That’s why OSF HealthCare is offering a new convenient option in the Sycamore area for patients who need urgent care that doesn’t require a trip to the emergency department. 

OSF OnCall Urgent Care clinics are located near neighborhoods and shopping areas where, historically, health care providers have not been located. The placement offers convenience and a more modern setting that has the feel of a lounge or café rather than a traditional doctor’s office, and it offers greater ease of access to care. Charging stations, free coffee, water or hot chocolate, blankets during the cold weather, and a large family treatment room allows for children to accompany a parent and siblings.

The new OSF OnCall urgent care will be at 661 S. Peace Road, Ste. 101 in Sycamore. The new clinic is scheduled to open July 29, with a soft launch providing health assessments and treatment Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-8:00 p.m. Eventually, operations will expand to weekends. Walk-ins are welcome or online reservations are available at osfoncall.org.

OSF OnCall Urgent Care is staffed by experienced care guides, a radiology technologist and an advanced practice provider. Providers deliver basic urgent care services such as treatment for cold, cough, flu, sprains, minor lacerations and fractures, school and sports physicals, urinary tract and upper respiratory infections among other minor ailments and conditions. The sites have X-ray and diagnostic laboratory services available as needed for treatment. Additionally, many common medicines, such as antibiotics, will be dispensed onsite, so many patients will be able to skip the trip to the pharmacy.

“From busy parents to college students and retirees, we also know there’s a need for safe, high-quality, hyper-convenient and affordable health care and OnCall Urgent Care opens the doors to provide just that. The easy access – whether in-person, or virtually – offers urgent care without the hassle and cost of a trip to the emergency department,” Barth stressed.

“The addition of the new OSF OnCall option in Sycamore allows us to serve area residents where and when they need it. OSF OnCall Virtual Urgent Care is also available when people need care after hours,” Barth stressed.“ OSF OnCall Urgent Care is a wonderful service that embraces a modern urgent care concept, so we are able to provide quick, high-quality care for on-the-go patients.”

Anyone experiencing a medical emergency or symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, or severe abdominal pain should go directly to the nearest emergency department or call 9-1-1.
