WAHPETON, ND (Valley News Live) – Beginning Monday, November 4th, Essentia Health-Wahpeton will begin offering a new direct care service to the community.

Access hours will be available from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Friday.

Essentia Health care provides an intermediate level of care. This may include care for illnesses and injuries that are not life-threatening, but may require x-rays and/or lab tests that require a blood draw. Care may be provided by physicians, nurse practitioners, or family and internal medicine nurses. No appointment required.

“We are excited to begin offering a new option for this critical service to the Wahpeton community,” said Julie Rosenberg, director of operations at Essentia Health-Wahpeton Clinic. “We know life doesn’t always go to plan and it’s important that our rural communities have access to the right level of care, at the right time and as close to home as possible.”

For direct care questions, please contact the Essentia Health-Wahpeton Clinic located at 275 11th St. S., at (701) 642-2000.
