It will be available to both the traveling public and airport workers.

Hogan (R) attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony outside the center on Tuesday .

The facility will be open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

FirstCall accepts most major insurance plans and offers self-pay options for all services.

First Call Medical Director Ron Elfenbein said only a handful of U.S. airports offer a comparable service.

Hogan stopped by for the ribbon-cutting before catching a flight to a National Governors Association event in Denver.
