The facility aims to cater to patients suffering from ailments such as broken bones, strains, sprains, painful joints, sports injuries, concussions, and acute back or neck pain, without the need to first visit an emergency room or urgent care center.
Dr. Clinton Hartz, a sports medicine physician at the institute, emphasized the convenience of the new clinic, allowing on-the-spot access to the same experts without requiring a prior referral. The clinic is set to streamline the process of connecting patients with specialists for long-term issues if necessary.
