• Cuts, lacerations and minor burns
• Cough, cold, asthma and pneumonia
• Sprains, strains and broken bones
• Ear, nose and throat infections
• Fever or flu-like illnesses
• Rashes and other skin problems
• School, sport and work physicals
• Vaccinations and a wide array of other services which can be found on their website.

The clinic also provides an on-site digital X-ray, on-site laboratory, EKG and pharmacy services.

A number of special offers are currently available to celebrate the grand opening, including a limited quantity of free first aid kits starting March 10 (while supplies last), free diabetes screenings between March 23 through March 29, and free blood pressure screenings between April 6 and April 12.
